We've just been to set up our stand at the Living North Christmas Market. I'm going to be hearing Xmas music for the next 4 days, so think yourself lucky. And just to annoy you I might just post in this thread every day I'm there just to keep it at the top of the page...

I used to run pubs for a living, our Xmas planning used to start in June

I’ve had some salted caramel and some spiced toffee apple pies so far. No actual mince pies yet.

I hope you responded with the correct reply, which is "Mince pies? It's fucking October!".

Mince pies should be allowed between about the 23rd December and New Year's Eve.

You can pretty much get Hot Cross Buns all year round, they should do the same with Mince Pies.

Hot cross buns should definitely be available all year, they predate Christianity and were appropriated for Easter.

I just think mince pies are very much a Christmas treat, and if they are scoffed all year round you make the treat less special.
