Re: Easter!!
You gotta be kidding me. Can't the shops not finish selling off all their Xmas stocks first and after that perhaps in march think about Easter

And this is the picture of the one you bought?
It's what the shops do now did you only just notice. They go from one event the the next:
Easter > Summer/Holiday > Back to school > Halloween > Bonefire Night > Xmas ... repeat.

Re: Easter!!
How come retailers haven't jumped on the Diwali bandwagon yet and all those other religious festivals they could wring a shilling from? They seem to be missing an opportunity it seems to me.
