    Q1: What percentage of people (Irish adults) have yet to start their Christmas shopping?
    PM me your answer before 7pm

    Reminder, there is no "correct" answer, you'll be marked by how close you are to the middle be of all the answers I receive

    Please don't divulge your answer on thread until the deadline passes, but hopefully we still have some good chatter :)

    I assume this question is for a normal Christmas year, not this year specifically?

    Good point. Obviously everyone can read the question their own way but I was thinking in a normal year, same for all questions

    Surely if you haven't started your Christmas shopping for previous years there's not much point in starting now.

    I see. Please inform your husband that he is to report to the Ministry of Men post haste and turn in his man card.

    My first sheep game. Answer submitted - thanks Electric Nitwit.

    My shopping is mostly done at this stage, but that's just this year, not much else to be doing other than online shopping.

    Does Gt Aunt Jemima's socks that she brought me and that I intend to re-gift to Uncle Cecil count as shopping?
