My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.

Also, in the last day or two before Crimbo itself,posh fresh food becomes very cheap. Joints of meat for 50p, 10 'gourmet' pies for a quid, that sort of thing.
My dogs and cats think it's, erm, Christmas.
