Well, chums I'm off to Blighty for about a week, so there won't be any posts for a while. Sigh. Just when I'd got going again.
It's Shrove Tuesday today and the last day of Carnival here in Europe - and few other places come to think of it. I haven't been out revelling, and I certainly haven't had any pancakes. I've been far too busy learning about cascading style sheets.
One of the categories I've selected for this post is 'Have I Got Old News For You'. The reason why is that whilst trying to build a link to 'Blighty' I came across a bit of information about mince pies. No, they weren't very old mince pies. It's just that according to the owner of Blighty's Tuck Store it's illegal to eat mince pies on Christmas Day. And that seems to have something to do with Oliver Cromwell, which I think does actually make this old news.
I'll leave you with this rather delightful picture of the storefront of Blighty's, which is located in Orangeville, Canada. I only wish there was a branch round the corner from me, Oliver Cromwell or not!
Have a browse through the archives while I'm away.
