Climbing
temperatures, which triggered a “level three” heatwave warning in the South
West, have not put off the opening of a new Christmas shop.
The shop in Truro, Cornwall, will sell nativity sets, decorations and
advent calendars.
Leased by Truro Cathedral, it will be opened later by its dean, the Very
Reverend Roger Bush.
Or should that be the very ill-informed about retailing Reverend, why he
has decided to greenlight the opening of a Christmas shop in middle of a heatwave
god only knows.
Good luck buying an advent calendar from that place you’ll get a yard
down the road and all the chocolate will have melted, and can you imagine
someone in a heatwave walking past you with some tinsel under their arm,
you’d think they’ve lost the plot.
Will there be a story in a blizzard during the winter about how this
shop will start to sell sunglasses, shorts and sandals? I wouldn’t put it past
them!
This shop really will need a bit of divine intervention if anything is
to be sold anytime soon.
