Christmas is coming
By Sarah Dobbs in Editorial

A friend recently decreed that it’s only winter once you’ve heard Do They Know It’s Christmas being played somewhere. Helpfully, he also supplied a YouTube video featuring that very song, so I can safely say that, at least for me, it’s now officially winter, and also officially time to start worrying about Christmas.
And I’m won’t be the only one fretting about what to buy, and where to get it from. The BBC is currently reporting that there will be a shortage of Nintendo Wii consoles this Christmas. So if you, or your kids, have got one of those on the list, you might be out of luck - or, at least, paying over the odds to guarantee getting hold of one.
Another supposedly hot Christmas favourite, the Pleo robot dinosaur (very cute!) seems to have been withdrawn from the websites of most of the stores that were going to be stocking it, and it’s only just gone into production. It’ll be like the Furby all over again, except Pleo costs
