1of4 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Every year when me and my wife go into town to start our Christmas shopping. We always started with a visit to Bennetts on Irongate. As Christmas only started for us, after we'd been to see their Christmas tree. After the shop's demise this year, it will leave a gap in our pre Christmas routine.

It’s understood he is planning a new retail proposition for Bennetts, including a new online store, that will retain the brand and its heritage yet adapting it so it can thrive in the modern retail climate." Nit really the same is it Mr Hurst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They love Christmas and it's great to see them get involved. I spent Christmas in Dubal a couple of years ago and it was fantastic. Christmas trees and decorations everywhere. Around here they tried to ban nativity scenes in shop displays and to change the name to "Winterval" so as not to offend others! The Sikhs, Muslims, Hindus and 'other communities' objected to this saying "I don't know who is offended, it's certainly not us! Snowflakes only happen when it's snowing!* *(great song, dreams, and not just seasonal either!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is you have 'some' people who choose to be offended on their behalf, probably drawing salaries in order to do so. I think its probably not as bad as it sometimes seems, but when each story hits the tabloid media it is exaggerated, and this in turn causes resentment among 'some' of the public. It is these people who try and dilute Christmas, or try and ban the flag at World Cup time etc that cause more damage to relations between different communities, faiths and backgrounds. Willing to bet if you listen in on conversations of 'some' white, christian british people they will be heard moaning thats its ok for 'them' to have 'their' diwali lights and celebrations but not 'us' to have 'ours'.
