Lines written on hearing the first carol singer of Christmas November 27th 2007 but at least he waited unlike the TV adverts till after Halloween and Guy Fawkes Night.

To the editor of The Times

Dear Sir,
Today I heard the first carol of Christmas sung on the street. Is this a record?

Yours etc.
