We've all been caught out by this - you can't write "can't" followed by "watch", for example.
You begin to know what to look for when you find yourself being censored!

As far as I know, the Americans don't start Christmas shopping etcetera after Thanksgiving - so while still early, it is far later than many places this side of the pond!?
I regret to say that today I have been selling Christmas cards. In my defence a) the manager of the Hospice shop put them out at a reduced price (left over from last year) and B) customers were keen to get a bargain!
