    I was going to ask the wife about this, but she was doing the washing up.

    Cancel Christmas if there's to be no board games. We always buy a new one each Christmas.

    No. I've just always done it and the kids love the ensuing arguments as 2 of them can be quite sore losers!!

    Just avoid games where there are communal pieces, cards etc. We've settled on five a side blow football.

    Fortunately granny was not there.
    But what happens in twister land stays in twister land.

    "They say people should still weigh up if an event could be postponed.
    If not, meeting online or outdoors where the risks of transmission are lower, could be a better option."

    I'll arrange to have my Christmas Dinner with Mum and Dad in the back garden then.....

    A bit more recently old boy! Mr Cholmondley-Warner and his manservant Greyson probably came up with this marvellous and enlightening piece of sage advice with a glass of port in one hand and cigar in the other whilst standing next to the mantlepiece in front of the roaring fire. All this, after consuming a splendid four course meal* expertly prepared by his devoted wife, who was in kitchen washing up (since women are not really interested and don't understand such things).

    *In celebration after receiving the even more splendid news that he had been selected by the Conservative Association to be the Candidate at a 'safe Tory seat' in a forthcoming by-Election. He would be a perfect fit!!
