Musical monstrosities.

.

I didn't get what I wanted for Christmas.

I did try but couldn't get it past the checkout!

So how did everyone else do?

“Did Father Christmas bring you everything you wanted this year? Or were you left with the usual pile of unasked-for smellies, oversized kitchen gadgets and ill-fitting, unflattering clothes?

If so, you are probably not alone. Recent research indicated that British shoppers wasted £1.7 billion on unwanted Christmas presents this year. “

Novelty panties topped (or should that be bottomed?) the list of unwelcome gifts, after all, who wants panties at Christmas?

Maybe in cold wind-swept Devon, where I am told they require fleecy lined sheepskin Directoire style underwear.

Well it appears that musical ties, musical doormats and musical coasters were also cited in the survey by the environmental group ‘Green Thing‘, with mothers-in-law and workmates as the worst donating culprits.

I suggest we have a competion to suggest what tunes these ‘musical’ gifts played. I’ll kick off…..

1) Musical tie - “Ying Tie, ying tie, ying tie, ying tie, ying tie. Tiddle I Po.”

Sorry I’ve just been informed it’s “Ying Tong” so I’ll have to revert to “Tie a Yellow Ribbon on the Olde Oak Tree”.

2) Musical Doormat - “These Boots were made for walking…..and one of these days these Boots are goin’ to walk all over you.”

3)Musical Coasters - “Oh, I do like to be beside the Seaside”
