Just sent the following to TESCO-LOTUS via their www site:

I normally shop these days at your Klong 7 outlet, handy as I'm at klong 10. Below a couple of comments:

-- Parking. Would suggest Klong 7 do as they did down at Klong 3 and repaint the parking lines to DIAGONAL parking, safer Jingle Bells is the only tape available? How about a medly of Xmas songs, it's still a long way to Xmas and shoppers, let alone the store staff, will go bonkers listening to JB for the next 28 days!and handier, easier to get in and out of;

-- Is Jingle Bells the only song available? Sure would be nicer to have a medly of songs, it's a long time until Xmas and the shoppers and your staff may well go bonkers listening to JB for the next 28 days!

You're right!  How could I have screwed that up, have certainly heard it often enough over the years.

Jinga awda wayyyyyy.

I'm also rather partial to Falostee da Sanoman if truth be told. Only when its sung by hyperactive speeding chipmunks on Helium, though. And at 160dB.

Being a sucker for creative advertising, I think this one should be spot on topic (saw it a few years ago, but it is still good):

"ingle ells, ingle ells..."

Christmas is not the same without J&B <Scotch whisky>

Disclaimer: I do not own any shares in whatever company flogging said spirits.

Melly clistmas to all!

Edit: I saw this in print media, but I am sure it would be much more powerful in audio: Serene female voices singing the tune, and then a dark, male voiceover claiming the lack of J&B.

I really pity the Thai shop staff at christmas especially. Listening to that jingle-jangle crap all day for 20-30 baht per hour, my heart goes out to them. Here in the UK I feel the pain for all the mothers who are busting their arse to provide (beyond their means) for little johnny's stocking.

Pagan traditions are pathetic, rant over.
