I'm not!
How verrry daaare you.
I hate people who overreact to imagined PC slights more than I hate the PC people themselves though, I reckon. 
There's more of 'em, that's for sure.
Plus she's clearly a chav.

They tend to draw crowds and create traffic. "Extreme" Christmas decorating is quite popular. People spends tens of thousands of dollars on lights and computerized controllers.

I welcome anything that challenges PC, whether it's made up or not.
Yeah but they're the ones who stir up all the trouble. Plus they're usually complete thickos.
Most people are quite thick though!
Especially me, etc.
Buuut yeah, maybe, maybe.

I think some of them spend up to $1000 to light their homes for the month, but most people are switching to LEDs and their bills are only a fraction of what they were.

Keeping on saying it will neither make people believe you, nor make you any cleverer, so stop it.
That's an order.

Yes miss.
(They should believe me though, and I don't believe that I have the capacity to be cleverer. Ahem.)

The dollar is pretty strong these days. It's even better than the first time I visited the UK 7 years ago. Last year's trip was rather brutal, but I'm thinking about another visit next year.
