What about calling it christonabikemas. What did the vicar say when he saw the church on fire? Holy smoke! Oh no, that's bad!

I'd suggest that for many its an excuse for a mid winter celebration, the solstice commandeered by the Christians. What do Advent, Father Christmas, Bethlehem and reindeers have to do with the winter solstice? Father Christmas and the whole reindeer thing is a vestigial expression of pre-Christian beliefs. And now a word from my favourite non-conformist:

More bollocks being posted I see. Why would anyone believe a word written in the Daily Mail? Quite right. The Taliban have not conquered Afghanistan, and there aren't 20,000 Afghans on their way to your spare bedroom. To be fair the second part is definitely true. There actually are not 20,000 Afghan refugees hoping to cram into someone's spare room. I don't know how many people have spare rooms. I never have but I think my younger sister has one and we had them in our mansions when I was a kid but anyway it is quite popular. If we say that 1 in 22 people in the UK have a spare room and that there are 66 million people here give or take a few nail bar and hand car wash/crack dealer operatives then divide by 3 for average household size and you get a million spare rooms. 20,000 people into a millions rooms there will be a lot of rattling around.

Instead, the 20,000 Afghans will be given rooms that otherwise would have been occupied by others. It's a shame for those who must remain homeless, but Afghans are clearly more important than they are.

I found it quite hilarious during the original "oh shit we are all going to die let's buy pasta and tinned mackerel" emergency to note what people staunchly refused to purchase.
It was a funny if slightly worrying situation.
Some products were ignored completely.

This is the way it works now. Some people need to wake up.

As it has been a nice day I thought a spot of reading might be in order. I never read books at all but this one I bought some 25 years ago in a cherry tea shop and like my weightlifting book I never managed to pick it up. Anyway there is always new stuff to learn from books. "Give instruction to a wise man and he will be yet wiser". And I was like "NO, you are doing that wrong!!"

"Supermarkets and hauliers have issued a warning to shoppers that supply struggles could mean they face long-term higher food prices. A supermarket chief said that increasing wages for drivers will result in inflationary pressure for retailers." Time to go to the allotments and maybe you'll find a turnip or two. Ross, it’s not true!
