At this time of year when a lot of the shops and supermarkets and internet sites are all geared towards Christmas. It really bothers me when Father Christmas is referred to as Santa Claus.
Father Christmas just sounds much more jolly and welcoming. And I’ve never really liked the name Santa Claus and it bothers me.
Are there anymore small things or issues that bothers anyone? And by small, I mean quite insignificant that doesn’t bother anyone? |  | | |  |

Fully behind you.
It's Father Christmas not Santa. We're not in America are we.
The creeping Americanisation of everything is not good. |  | | |

No, it’s not the Americanisation, or its perception that makes me perfer Father Christmas. It’s just a better name that brings up better imagery. | | | |

Season's Greetings instead of Merry Christmas. And I don't mean that like the Express and the Daily Mail push it. I just like tradition. |  | | |

Terrible, ain't it.
I read on GB News that you can't even use the phrase 'utter woke nonsense' on message boards nowadays. Free speech? Pah.
They'll be stopping us being utter nasty, racist bigots next. |  |

Pigeons.
I dislike them far more than I should - basically cos they eat grass seed whenever I try and sort out my lawn.
No one else seems to share my dislike for them - I am literally battling the bastards all alone, but it's a battle I won't back down from. |  |

Something I've been pondering recently, is people who have to use shoe horns. How do they put their socks on? |  |

....people who have "Live Love Laugh", usually in wooden block letters above their fireplace.
Probably applies to 50% of this forum to be honest. | |

There’s an entire industry of that crap over here. Usually faux crafted tat with stupid little sayings. Large wooden boards with pictures of food on saying “EAT” to hang in your kitchen in case you need a reminder.
Fk. Off. | |
