    But although understandably we get paranoid about sockies, we're probably discussing a perfectly genuine new poster!

    I would prefer that obnoxious gimp to be perma banned, if the Mods can be arsed about it.
    You need to be more specific, that description covers a great many on here (including my humble self when the occasion allows). Come to think of it, if "obnoxious gimps" are to be banned there'll be hardly any feckers left. Where's the fun in that?

    I'd like to see this made the official CUK response to FLC's posts actually.

    The long wind down to the 'big day' is now in full swing.
    Forget any contract renewals/wins between now and March 2017 as hirers are now in Christmas mode.

    Monday 1 Aug 2016
    Selfridges have today revealed their ‘summer Christmas shop’
    forth floor has been transformed into a ‘Shine on’ winter wonderland with 50,000 decorations on display
    2016 opening is the world’s earliest
    will be further expanded in autumn

    Some photos from 2 weeks ago..
