Christmas. Bah! Humbug!

Drive over to Rochester for lunch, end up having to park so far out I was on the point of turning around and going home.
Wheel down into town, realize when most of the way there the reason it's so crowded is it's the Christmas Market.
Get to the High Street, realise it's so crowded it's hell on earth for wheelies, turn round, push back up hill to the car.
Go shopping at Asda, which is worth a post on its own
Argh! *headdesk* Argh!....

And next weekend is the Dickensian Christmas, which will be worse.

Dickensian Christmas = Being cold and underfed?

Well, the Dickens' World tourist attraction just went bust for the fourth time....

But mostly Rochester tries to play up the more picturesque elements and not dwell on the reality.
