Bah, humbug! Christmas comes too early for north Wales shoppers

Yuletide goods on sale alongside summer lines and before Halloween items annoyed locals in Home Bargains in Denbigh

It may not have been the sunniest of Augusts but a store in north Wales has been accused of giving up on summer way too early after it filled shelves with Christmas stock.

A section of the Home Bargains store in Denbigh is awash with festive offerings, from Grinch stockings to gold baubles, from strings of tinsel to plastic wreathes, sparkly reindeers and worker elves' hats.
