Shoddy PresentsI have an aunt who for many years would send me the same christmas present every year. A Biro. Each year I wrote inevitable "Thankyou so much for the Biro. I am using it to write this letter" letter, each year a new one arrived.
Tell us all about the rubbish that has been foisted upon you over the years.

Christmas 1995Aged 13, to set the scene of which stage I was at in my life - other presents included A mountain bike and a massive pair of check trousers with a little fella smoking a spliff on the back pocket. Surely my (genuinley) favourite uncle will come through with something just as cool...Nope... I got this - TRAINS WE LOVED - a big, hardback coffee table book about sodding trains... needless to say - there was a new favourite uncle by boxing day.
Although a bit harsh laughing at senile dementure - I've also got an elderly great-auntie who often got confused as to my exact age and/or sex when buying presents - but I always had to politely thank her "yeah - cheers for the Cindy Lunchbox Aunty Jen - that'll come in dead handy at college"
