    We have received a Christmas card from a dim and distant relative of my wife who we haven't seen for years. The card is a product of the Leeds utd club shop and has the club badge on the front... Without wishing to be seen to be too ungrateful and rude, do I?


    A. Chuck it in the bin

    B. Put it up in a remote location and hope no one sees it (attic)

    C. Send it back with a choice message inside


    It's a real quandary, it really is.

    Cut out the club badge, glue a Man Utd badge in its place and send it back

    Bin it....you said it's someone not seen for ages so it's not as though they'll come over.

    My wife told me a good one at the weekend, her sister's husband is a Church Minister, she complained that people only ever send them religious cards! Can't bloody win with some folk, if we sent one with a robin on it she'd be accusing me of hating Christians again!

    Apologies - It was meant to dislike them sending you a Leeds Utd xmas card!

    I'll take it off because the stats just show up different
