Gives the answer as 'Ghost Of Christmas Present'

Question Author

thanks, puternut, yes i have seen that, but i cannot see this being correct, for instance where does the christmas present fit in, the ghost is not buying a present as such, just doing a deal, unless it's me that's missing something

guilliebrougues

The ghost of Christmas Present means it is the ghost of christmas now, in the present. not past or future but right now.

factor-fiction

I'm not sure either. Maybe the poltergeists reference indicates spirits. There seems to be a lot of emphasis on offers/ deals in the clue but I can't work it out

guilliebrougues

in addition to my post, the ghost is doing a deal. meaning change your ways from what they were in the past to a better way of life no in the present moment and into the future.

hops

Question Author

yes, guilliebrougues, that is my point, the dingbat does not show a leaning to christmas past, present or future, for example there is no arrow pointing to the ghost banquo suggesting that the answer lies with him being the ghost of christmas present, he could equally well be the ghost of christmas past or future, no we are missing something here but i'm not sure what.

Can you remind me of the whole thing please?

there is then underneath this banquo saying "is there a discount for buying in bulk"
then casper who is on the right replies, "go on then, buy two and you can have the third free.
banquo replies "you're on"
