Et tu!

I am happy because not once did I go to the bastard shops thronging with wibbling last minuters. Thank you Amazon!

I also am glad I did not have to go to work this week as a landslip at Wadhurst has closed the Hastings line and the village nearly got flooded:

Full marks to the Environment Agency men for having the pumps and barriers ready. Luckily the water abated before anyone's Xmas got ruined.

Just come back from a Xmas meal down the pub (same one you went to when you were over this way with John).

Tomorrows cooking will be very simple - and I have infinite beer :)

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar y ear 2014, but not without due respect for the calendar of choice of other c ultures whose contributions to society have helped make our country great ( not to imply that Scotland is necessarily greater than any other country) a nd without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religi ous faith or sexual preference of the wishee.

What is 'chrismas'

[Tim Lamb]

Where Tea is replaced by unmentionable alcohol?

[Dave Liquorice]

How you pronounce that abomination "Xmas", as in criss-cross mas?

"Cross mas" especially after trying to do the normal weekly shop with a store full of sheeple who only visit once a year, don't know what they want, can't agree on how much of what they don't know what they want and don't know where to find what they don't know what they want or can't agree a quantity on. Give 'em a choice loose, pre-packed or organic parsnips (for example) and they are completely flummoxed.

[ARW]

No.
