Don't worry Simon, you can sleep contently, knowing that exactly the same thing will be happening on the other side of the world, your not on your Pat malone.

Lol it's good to know that that the post prandial nap is a tradition upheld on t'other side of the world. Cheers Mike have a great one. Guess we will swap stories on Boxing Day reporting in from the doghouse.

The Victorian Christmas bird to roast was a goose. The turkey came into favour more and more through the Edwardian years - the early 1900s.

The geese used to be walked into the cities. They were herded through a shallow layer of pitch and then across sand so their feet were protected. The goose girls walked in front with the bell that was rung when their geese were to be fed, so they would follow the sound. Different flocks could be walked together and then separated by the girls standing in different corners of a yard with their bells.
