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.

Father ChristmasI think I was about four or five when I went to the Father Christmas who was residing in the local covered market.
He gave me a DUSTPAN AND BRUSH. to a five year old. Yeah, cheers.
The next day in my school journal I wrote about this experience. 'I went to see father christmas and he gave me a dustpan and brush'
when it came back from marking the teacher had noted 'Lucky girl!' Even then I could see the sarcasm dripping off the page.
