In an ideal world, what would you like for Christmas?

The smoking ban to be partially lifted - we want to have the right to choose. One thing that is very dear to my heart in the lead-up to Christmas is that irresponsible discounting from supermarkets should be stopped immediately - if that happened, all our members would sell more beer. It's looking very much like a stay at home Christmas.

Being able to celebrate Christmas with all the family, including my grand-children, would be a treat that would really make my Christmas special. We're only open for a couple of hours and I'd love to think that means I'll get the chance to put my feet up and relax - but somehow I doubt it!

I'm a bit naughty because everything I ask for, I go out and buy! My husband gets annoyed. But I do want a treadmill to help me to get fit during the new year period. We're closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day so I'm really looking forward to the chance to have a couple of days with my family.

I'd like to have my health. I'd also like to be able to spend Christmas with my family but that's almost impossible in this trade! We're open on Christmas Day and will probably close the doors about 5pm. We enjoy it, really. On Boxing Day we have the Manston Monster Brunch followed by a great party for our staff in the evening.
