Commercialism taking the micturated fluid.

Commercialism taking the micturated fluid.

Having suffered a stinking cold over the weekend I was confined to my bed.

It was bad enough that this resulted in my missing a famous victory by The Posh over Leeds United, but matters were made worse by an advert I had the misfortune to see.

A compilation album of various songs only heard recently on Saga FM was being marketed as an ideal gift for "Grandparents Day".

I have no objection in principle to companies taking the piss to wangle a bit more cash from the moronic, provided they do not tell lies to do so, but the idea of grandparents day just struck me as a bit daft.

Why can't the come up with a put upon brothers day or a grumpy single son's day for a change.
