Meh, I don't get the Marmite reaction to the Toy Show tbh. If you have kids of the appropriate age you're more likely to watch it, if not you probably won't. It's not aimed for us
As a result I thought in or around the 50% range was probably going to be correct.. I think I said to EN I might have been slightly overestimating too.
Now the Penney's PJ range on the other hand can get in the fookin bin. Not in my damn house!

Honestly, most childless people I know watch it for the nostalgia, that's why I went high. I obviously know the wrong childless people
RE: Fogies sheepish Advent Calendar 2021 - Wichita Lineman - 04-12-2021
My kids are growed up and we still watch it together and we have a good laugh. Some people take it far tooooooo seriously though.
RE: Fogies sheepish Advent Calendar 2021 - Trigger - 04-12-2021
Bring back Gaybo and Zig & Zag!
That being said, the children are the absolute stars of the show, it's a real feel good show that can be a real pick me up. In ours we use it as the beginning of the Christmas run in, the tree goes up a couple of days before so that it is up for it.
Even if you are not a fan of Christmas, the kids and their talents and hilarity makes great live TV.

RE: Fogies sheepish Advent Calendar 2021 - Butty Brennan - 04-12-2021
I didn't think this quiz would be running on the weekends for some reason. I don't know where I got the idea
I think questions about owning Christmas jumpers and PJs and things like that likely would get different answers if the answers were kept anonymous

I was the other slow coach today, finally catching up
Congrats @Loughc 3 weeks early is usually the perfect amount of early - fully cooked and no more sitting around uncomfortably with the Melon getting bigger
My friend is over 39 weeks and would be only delighted if she'd gone by now.
Hope everyone is well and healthy and this means you don't need to worry about missing a nice xmas dinner if she went xmas week!
There are two other Foggy pink or blue surprises due soon aren't there?

RE: Fogies sheepish Advent Calendar 2021 - quickbeam - 04-12-2021
From now on I'm gonna take my guess and just half it! I thought most people would have a jumper tucked away somewhere even if not taken out to wear. I *thought* it'd be 90% but learned from the Toy Show and went 66%. Really should have just halved my initial thought.
RE: Fogies sheepish Advent Calendar 2021 - nothing - 04-12-2021
I don't really wear jumpers, I do have a doctor who themed Christmas t-shirt but it doesn't fit
RE: Fogies sheepish Advent Calendar 2021 - Trigger - 04-12-2021
I was on that exact number and I moved it lower because the last few days of scroogeyness! Dammit!
Oh Hai @BuileBeag
RE: Fogies sheepish Advent Calendar 2021 - quickbeam - 04-12-2021
Every job I've had I had to resist being peer pressured to wear a Christmas jumper in on the last day.
