I hereby claim the prize for spotting the first mention of Winterval of 2010 in the DM:

To wit - "YOU MEAN WE CAN A CHRISTMAS WITHOUT ALL THOSE TOUCHY FEELIE PC WORLD MORONS CALLING WINTERVAL?

BRING IT ON...

AND IF IT OFFENDS ANY OTHER CULTURE HERE...

In fact, noticing that a)it's in capital letters; b)it includes the phrase 'we can a Christmas'; c)it includes the words 'touchie feelie' and 'pc'; and d)manages to fit in a subtle-ish insult to Islam, all in the space of 27 words, I'm wondering if it was the work of someone here. If so, congratulations.

I rather liked this comment:

I find it mildly patronising that the church thinks a Christmas shop in Selfridges will make people forget what the 'true meaning of Christmas' is, as if it isn't drummed into every primary school child with tedious inevitability!

Doubt it was someone here- he seems serious. It's a good example of someone believing that the isolated cases of things the Mail report are actually widespread.

"PC WORLD MORONS"? wtf? Does he think PC World have called their shop that because they're politically correct?

Bloody hell, banning Christmas gets earlier every year...

Have you ever asked for advice at PC World? I think he's on to something...

Yay! The Pope tackles the subject of Winterval! That should be good for about 10 years in the Mail.

I have "proof" to the standard of evidence required my the mail.
Last time I dropped into PC World, the technical expert who assisted me was not only Black, but also a woman.

e.g. I saw Carol Smillie shopping in Sainsburys and she'd bought a ciabatta. Says it all really.

I saw a man looking up a word in the dictionary. Says it all, really.
