You were correct. It was Nash. The liquor went to my head quicker than I thought it would.

Well, it's Maundy Thursday after all....getting ready for the long weekend

I

Same here. Maundy Thursday goes unnoticed. The school holidays have already started so loads of kids hanging around bored already.

[ladyalex]

Hardly anyone has even heard of Maundy Thursday up here.

Our kids have been on hols and are now back.

When I lived in England, they wouldn't believe me that We did not have Good Friday, Easter Monday or August Bank holiday Monday off.

its so quiet where i live you dont know if the kids are on holiday or not,i think the parents dont stand any nonsense from the kids here,they are all very kind and polite

[ladyalex]

We live very near to a secondary school, so the kids round here can be noisy at times, but nothing worse than that...except that it's not a good idea to go to the shops at lunchtime, especially the baker's...queued out with kids.

[sandyRoe]

They all queueing for healthy wholemeal rolls filled with salad? Or for sausage rolls filled with grease?

When I first lived in Scotland in the early 1970s, I found it very hard that the Scots worked on Boxing Day but had New Year's Day off - in England at that time, we had two days for Christmas and Boxing Days, but worked on NY Day. All different now, of course!
