I just spent four minutes trying to get a DVD out of it's cellophane wrapper! Fffffffffffour minutes! I was DETERMINED not to go in the kitchen and get a knife or scissors as it HAD to have one of those little tag things to help you, didn't it? Well no, it never. It was seemingly welded on to the box with not a fraction of a millimetre of looseness to get you started.

The Seasonal Goods aisle in any supermarket has three seasons :-
Easter Eggs starting on Boxing Day
Barbeque stuff starting on Easter Sunday
Christmas Puddings, mince pies etc staring after the August Bank Holiday.

And Argos change catalogs in July and January. So in February you can buy tents and paddling pools, but not heaters; whereas in August you can buy a Christmas tree and some fairy lights, but not a fan.
