Holidays are coming.
Holidays are coming.
Holidays are coming.
Do-da-da-da-do-da-do-da-da-da-da.
And so on and indeed so forth.
The reason we, within the normally straitened confines of Coming Up Corner, are feeling all festive is that we have Christmas news for you.
And not just any Christmas news.
No, this is a top piece of research which shows just how much Courier readers are set to spend on festivities.
The results show you all to be a jolly generous bunch. You yes you will splash out £500 on presents and tasty treats (assuming, of course, you are average). Hundreds more on socialising and entertaining.
Lovely stuff.
Christmas is for giving but methinks many locals will be hoping their bank managers keep their forgiving for January.
Full details will be revealed in Wednesday’s Courier.
Meanwhile, you just cannot beat a slice of granny’s special shortbread.
Specially if you are Andy Murray.
That’s because his beloved nan makes some quite wonderful sweet treats. They have been much enjoyed by famous faces of late (Strictly Come Dancing stars have been tucking in over the last few weeks quite possibly the real reason they were all so sad to see serial plodder Judy depart).
Well now Andy’s gran is ready to hand out some shortbread to mere mortals.
And in your midweek Courier you can find out just how you can snap up your own piece of biscuitry-heaven. Quality.
How much telly do you watch? And what about your offspring?
Forgive my impertinence, but we have some statistics which make for rather interesting reading. It’s all about how we get out televisual fix these days and the changing face thereof. Most illuminating.
As if all that isn’t enough (okay, I admit, it isn’t. Indeed it would only fill a few pages and that might make you feel despite the extreme high quality a bit shortchanged) we also have a spat over homophobia, bodies being dug up (every bit as dramatic as it sounds) and a visit to Courier Country by a top bishop (the archbishop in fact).
A winning Wednesday awaits our readers and that’s a cast-iron guarantee (not legally binding). Please do snap up your copy of The Courier. Failing that why not try our digital edition?
