First "Fairytale" of the Season?

[Christine]

In our local HMV on Friday, first time I heard it this year. Possibly because of a) the nation is X-Factor obsessed, b) I'm going deaf, c) I have not been shopping enough.
Moreover, they played an instrumental version and then rudely interrupted it for a shop announcement. A disgrace.

[MissWalshy]

A huge disgrace.

Feeling christmassy yet Christine?

Number 18 in the charts! Nice going

[Jon]

My only hearings of Fairytale are on my ipod, despite going shopping on the weekend to the sort of stores that I'd rather wait outside of, like the dutiful husband over a certain age, I've still not heard it

[firehazard]

I've heard it surprisingly few times while out shopping this year. I did hear it while having a haircut at the weekend. There are times when you just have to resist swaying along to the music in the time-honoured way.

That would have been macaroons, not poor abandoned sailors. Did I mention that I found some Baileys too?

[MissWalshy]

It was played in The Rovers on Coronation Street on Monday

They love The Pogues in that pub, I think there's a thread about it...
