Just done yearly trip to the Panto in Scunny , only went there first time cos it was cheap , but it’s become a tradition . Decent little venue , pub opposite for dinner and free street parking , all ticks in the plus column to Balance out been in Scunny . The guy who writes and stars in it is pretty funny to be fair, most jokes going over my kids heads , in fact I’ll be a bit worried when they start laughing at them

Yes of course, I am happy if any of my guests are vegetarians, vegans, tea totalers, non Cristians, or even TWS.
What I will not have is anyone dictating what I eat, what my values should be or pushing that their views are better than mine in my own home.
For your information, tomorrow I will be cooking a meal for family members who need completely separate food preparation and menu from the rest of us.
And you can stuff ****ing nut roast up your arse.
