Thanks for spotting this - a genuinely interesting bit of news that I'd missed.

Interesting that they ditched 30th December - I'd have thought that losing Feb 29th would have made more sense.

Oh dear - what a lot of 'interestings' - makes me sound as though I was being sarky, which I wasn't intending at all

I wondered too why they chose 30th Dec. A less busy trading day than Feb 29th perhaps.

I guess it is all about samosa sales?
