Season's greetings

On Wednesday, the wee wifey and I took the dogs for a lovely walk along the Wey and Arun Canal, making the most of the opportunity before I had a minor foot operation (went very well, thank you for asking...) We had a very nice meal at the canal-side pub but one thing did puzzle me. As I was settling up the bill, coming faintly over the PA were the unmistakeable strains of Bing Crosby singing I'm dreaming of a White Christmas...

Is it me?

The good news is that halloween has been cancelled this year.

Hope bonfire night is still on ?

Best regards,

Joe

Part of English history no longer 'celebrated' by the yoof of today.
"Penny for the guy?" isn't it.
Small boys - jumpers for goalposts. Roll the ball through the dog

and get your mate to head it, isn't it. Mmm.

Over here a lot of clubs and restaurants have a Christmas in July night cos it's winter and therefore more akin to northern hemisphere weather. Bit silly, I reckon.

May I be first to wish everyone the compliments of the season.
now which Bond film will be shown on Christmas Day ?

Knowing ITV and Freeview I'd take a guess at all of 'em

When I was little you used to be able to find Easter Eggs in the garden on Easter Sunday, but in recent years I've never found any. I guess global warming causes them to melt early.

Aussies, Christmas in July, where would you like me to start?

Are you a Brit abroad, or a Aussie?
