    You mean Shrove Tuesday. Pancake Day terminology in itself highlights how far removed the country has become

    Its not nearly as commercialised as it used to be. There used to be loads of ads on tv reminding you about it.

    Dont forget your pancakes on jif lemon day is one that sticks out.

    in the past you always knew when it was, I didn't gave a clue until I saw this post :)

    Although I guess the op post us a joke

    Listening to talk sport this morning and they were going on about it being pancake day today, talking about what the best topping was.

    One of the presenters said 'When does lent start?'

    'I don't know?' was the reply.

    It would be a pretty crap-tasting omelette if you put flour in it! Batter let over from making Yorkshire puds is used for pancakes in our house (I'm bringing my kids up proper!). But I guess you could start the sequence with omelettes first, then Yorkshires, then pancakes................ reight diet.
