Christmas_UK

  1. Just trying out an A3 scanner I've just acquired for the new website- here's two pages from the Boots 1982 Xmas catalog fb.me/1DUB8WtnF
  2. July, of course, is when I hope to have the website up and running in full effect ready for plugging when the July Xmas storeis hit the news
  3. .@lilacfloyd - aye, because as Selfridges and Harrods tell us each year, Christmas really starts in July ;)
  4. Christmas UK Countdown: There are 250 days until #Christmas...
  5. #ceefaxmemories Also the Christmas Specials of each of the magazines, complete with festive graphics - cute even when highly pixellated!
  6. #ceefaxmemories The Xmas Advent Calendars - Oracle/Teletext would have an image a day, whereas Ceefax would build up a scene day by day.
  7. Then the new website is officially launched in September, by which time it should be solid enough for some other plans I have for it.
  8. The second beta-test will follow a few weeks after which will incorporate a comments and ratings system.
  9. Website news: first version to go live very soon as the first beta-test. Will only have content from last year plus a couple of new features
  10. Nice - keep 'em coming! @markp777 radio times publication, coca cola ad, beginning of Xmas markets, down to last 3 on x factor, booze deals.
  11. E.g. Xmas wouldn't be Xmas without the John Lewis ad, music channels going all-Xmas, TV Xmas trailers and idents, Advent calendars on sale.
  12. One of the new website features is a watch list of signs of Xmas. What events tell you that Xmas is on its way?
  13. Christmas UK Countdown: There are 300 days until #Christmas...
  14. Like the best Christmas trees, it'll be fairly basic the first year, and then will be built upon year-by-year!
  15. A bit of news: there WILL be a Christmas UK website - it'll effectively be a copy of this plus bonus bits and pieces.
  16. One month on and I'm getting ideas. Hypothetically, what would you like to see on a Christmas UK website?
  17. As to when Christmas UK will return at full tilt... well, as the song goes, "You better watch out..." Happy New Year :)
  18. Let me know of anything you'd like me to do next year (or not do!) and I'll try and make it better!
