So it's not just to me then. Nontheless I bet it took him a long time to write to everybody. Reminds me of when my mum used to make me write to everybody who'd sent me Christmas presents when I was little. What an absolute chore .... "Dear Aunty Kathleen.... thank you very much for the lovely present you sent me ..... "
Can't think of one I'm toning it down a bit now. There's young 'uns might read this forum. Last thing they want to be reading is "who wants to spank the monkey" or something of that ilk.
That's how Xmas cards started. Was a long tradition of writing letters to folk at Christmas, until one of our Kings couldn't be arsed and had a load made for him that he just signed. I'm sure I've seen that on history channel or summat. And pretty sure I haven't just made it up haha Edit. I was off quite a bit.... https://pallant.org.uk/christmas-cards-a-very-british-history/
My English teacher made me re-write homework until it was at least a C minus. That hurt the right hand and made me start doing my essays on the P.C.
If you ever find yourself in the Holly Bush in Hampstead, and want to go to the Duke of Hamilton as the next stop on your pub crawl, there is a little alleyway which is a shortcut, just off Heath Street. As you wander down this little alley, look up at the Ivy covered wall, where you will see a Blue Plaque to the person who invented the Christmas Card. Useless bit of knowledge #1,327 EDIT: Correction: It is not an official Blue Plaque, but there is a plaque. I have a photo from 2012, but this site still doesn't allow uploads.
All supporters have written to Mads..... Dear Mads, Sign a new long term contract. Thank You All Barnsley Fans
Speaking of packing the Ponte, I’ve an over 65 Ponte ticket free to a good home. By good home I mean a Barnsley fan, that and age being the only criteria. Ping me if of any use.
