Vox Pops: Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?

With Christmas now under 12 weeks away, we asked Edinburgh residents if they have started their Christmas shopping yet.

Transcript

00:00Yes, I've got it all.

00:01Oh?

00:01Yeah.

00:02So when did you start?

00:03I started in January.

00:05Really?

00:06Yeah.

00:06Everything's done?

00:07Yeah, everything's done.

00:08Wow, that's a preparation.

00:10Oh, yes.

00:11You got a lot in already?

00:13Yes.

00:13And why do you get started so early?

00:16To spread the cost, to make it easier.

00:18Yeah.

00:19No.

00:20Why not?

00:21Because I'm not getting this £300 off the government anymore.

00:25So you've got to watch your pennies?

00:26And I'm a single, so if this reduction on the rates, that's going to affect me as well.

00:33So you've got to watch what you're paying?

00:36Yeah.

00:37Eh, fuck, oh, the dreaded one.

00:38Aye, we've just started it recently, our little boy's Christmas, eh, birthday's in December as well.

00:42So, double.

00:43We're doubling it up, so, aye, we've started.
