Only 13 days to go folks.

Today is the twelfth day of the twelfth month.

And lowe it is the twelfth day before Christmas.

 

Does that stupid song about pear trees and hyperactive gentry types start today?

Once again thank you for you input but your a day early,

 

Anyway, I thought you only talked numbers if they started with 300 plus  and over 100 whilst driving......................

Er, the first of the "12 Days of Christmas" in the song is St Stephen's Day, aka Boxing Day, from where we progress up until the 12th day is Epiphany!

I think this only applies in ScotlandLand Ken...................

@Auric Goldfinger

1. "The 12 Days of Christmas" is an English carol.
2. Epiphany is a Christian festival, but primarily in the Anglican communion.

TWO smaller numbers I like average speed for every journey 40mph and long term average 40mpg for balance.

Frightening!  Remember those good old days, back in early summer, when no-one noticed if the countdown was missed for days at a time...

Probably due to the man with the GOLDEN FINGER being on his summer hols.

Can't afford  Holidays on my measly BR pension.

Spuderick and I made him a "sleeps until" calendar yesterday...

He drew the pictures into each segment, and then labelled them as per instructed by him... the creative mind of a not quite 4yr old who understands how a standard toilet siphon flush works....
