Meant to ask you Denis, a part of your tradition is queueing at Fields on xmas eve. How bad is the queue? We're thinking of going there this year, but hate queueing.
Queuing there is fine, because while you’re in the queue they feed you free pork pie!
Make sure you book your turkey soon though then pick it up from there
I’ll meet you in Lion for the ‘queue’!
 
For xmas morning breakfast. I have a large slice of pork pie. We've been dieting for 3 months (minus the drinking), so skipping savoury food has been my biggest sacrifice so just talking about it is making me salivate!
Is pork pie an Askew family tradition or does anyone else do that? ...actually thinking about it, it's Mrs Askew's family tradition which I was more than happy to adopt. I may have answered my own question or was I severely neglected as a child.

That's sounds bearable. Is it usually xmas eve morning? I vaguely recall one reason we didn't use them before previously was because we were at work.
 
Do you live in a lighthouse?
No. It's quite dark. In the 1830s I don't think they went for big windows.

Telly is fooking ace btw.

Plus the old 40 incher is now in the main area in the house (kitchen/dining) on the wall where an old 32 incher, which needed you to view it from a specific angle to be able to see it, so she's well happy. Means she can see it clearly when shes cooking and ironing and whatever else women get up to in their special room.

Just need the Sky Soundbox and I'm sorted for Christmas.
