One of the clearest signs in Brigg that Christmas is coming is not the goose is getting fat, but the fact Brian's DIY has opened up its Christmas Shop in Grammar School Road South, selling all manner of toys, decorations and the like.
It's now quite an established feature of the town, complementing Brian's main shop, just round the corner in Wrawby Street, where the renowned personal service means you can still buy screws, nails or fittings individually, rather than having to purchase an entire packet of the things.
Remember the famous hardware shop sketch from the Two Ronnies, well I bet Brian and his team could find you some 'Os' to go in the house sign Mon Repose. And fork handles, or four candles, will not be beyond them.
Not sure if they are in competition but Brigg Christmas Land - at the Garden Centre on Bigby High Road - has been drawing the crowds for some weeks. There are yellow signs directing people on the approach roads to the town. And they are turning up in great numbers - from far and wide.
Now Brigg folk - young and not so young - can start counting down to the switching on of the town centre Christmas lights, after which the big day will be only three weeks away.
Yo! Ho! Ho!
