OT***HAPPY EASTER!!!
"David Horne, _the_ chancellor (*)" wrote in message ... Jean O'Boyle wrote: To all who celebrate this most holy day, I wish a Glorious and Blessed Easter! Here, it's more of an annoyance. Hardly any shops open. I'm surprised they still have this law here, given that so few Britons celebrate Easter religiously, etc. That's too bad, our parish church was filled on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday Vigil Mass and today on Easter Sunday, there was hardly any standing room. Despite the heavy thunderstorms we had on Saturday night, there were many who still attended. Most places were closed on Good Friday, including the schools...Today, I noticed restaurants open as many families go out to eat. --Jean |

Nice for a long weekend I suppose- that's why we went to Venice, where many others seemed to have the same idea! -- (*) ... of the royal duchy of city south and deansgate David Horne- http://www.davidhorne.net (don't email yahoo address) usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk |

It may be an annoyance to David but, as always, he speaks only for himself. That's a given, but on this particular issue I was commenting on a clear societal trend as well. I suspect that Easter closing will eventually go away and become just another bank holiday weekend. I certainly don't speak for myself when I suggest that few Britons celebrate the holiday religiously. As only 1.5 million people in the UK actually go to church over the Easter weekend, it's patently no longer a holiday with any significance here. -- (*) ... of the royal duchy of city south and deansgate David Horne- http://www.davidhorne.net (don't email yahoo address) usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk |

"Runge1" wrote in message ... Keep your religious stuff to yourself, you taliban Perhaps you ought to look *taliban* up in a dictionary, before you call anyone by that name. Scrooge still lives, apparently. Bah Humbug to you, too! Pay no mind to scRunge, he is bitter, lonely, and desperately unhappy...poor thing! During Christmas a poster here did a parody of _A Christmas Carol_ using posters from this group as the characters. Guess who got the role of Scrooge...??? -- Best Greg |
