bugshaw at 03:35pm on 15/02/2008I went to Tesco, wondering if I might score some cheap post-Valentine chocolates, but the huuuge display of red and black and shiny gold Valentine's Day cards and gifts has been turned round overnight into a huuuge display of pale pink Mother's Day cards and gifts. A lot of the chocolate hasn't been physically moved, just repositioned with different messages. "Get laid tonight with a Cadbury's Creme Egg!" turns to "Thank you, Mummy, for hatching me!" then they just need to think of a new line for Easter. Or for a sales push a week earlier: "Beware the Ides of March - luckily, you always know you're safe with a Cadbury's Creme Egg!" (They're not actually pushing CCEs, but you get the idea)
What if you bought a box of Milk Tray marketed for lovers, but gave them to your mother? What if you give your lover chocolate, but it doesn't get eaten till March 2nd - does it turn into mother's chocolate?

- the penultimate box of Christmas Turkish Delight, there's still some ginger flavoured stuff in the kitchen hidey place
- the last packet of Dutch Christmas Speculaas Biscuits
- the penultimate bag of chocolate-coated coffee beans leftover from, ooh, that would be Christmas
and watching Battlestar - Razor.
It's an odd combination.

I mean, ok, I'm aware people are gullible, but seriously, exactly how dumb do you have to be to hear someone say "Beware! Tis the ides of march! Only I will not betray you. You can only be saved if you turn your back, that's it, now shut your eyes..."
