Shoddy PresentsI have an aunt who for many years would send me the same christmas present every year. A Biro. Each year I wrote inevitable "Thankyou so much for the Biro. I am using it to write this letter" letter, each year a new one arrived.
Tell us all about the rubbish that has been foisted upon you over the years.

Crap!I had an Aunt who was fucking loaded. Every year she invited herself to the family Xmas, brought a bottle of the cheapest wine known to man, and showered us with 'presents'.
For 5 years running I got a packet of playing cards. Now, being a youngster at the time, maybe different types of cards from all around the world, covered in different designs might have been nice. But no! These were bog standard, bought from a newsagent cheap shit ones!
Still, it could have been worse. My female cousins each kept getting a cheap plastic alice band (at least 30p worth) - and they had short hair!
A while later, she stopped coming to Xmas as she emigrated. So, she sold her mews house in St. Johns Wood (just around the corner from Abbey Road) and her Oxford Street offices for an obscene amount of money. Guess what we got as present before she left....cunt!
