Well if the shops are flogging there Christmas stuff in August, as featured in the Sun..... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2601517/Shops-selling-Christmas-items-four-months-early.html ( it must be true) I suppose it is 'countdown' for a lot of people......
Of course it is riduculous!, and ruins both the idea and spirit of a festive period, let alone any religious connections ( perish the thought,) but with the nations obsession with shopping, perhaps they should start in April!.
When I was at the bbc, I suggested that they should close Radio 1, to preserve 6 music, as other independent organisations cater for this market, but the 'bed wetters' at the BBC, moaned about national radio coverage and connecting to a young audience! (My sons never listen to it, far too uncool!)
I am far too old too listen to Radio 1, and was never a fan of this 'pop' station, ( It is aimed primarily at the 15–29 age group).
So in short, you are probably too old, do not get the ' ironic joke' or should listen to capital/virgin.
