Sadly...
...my auld fella died about three years ago, but I still observe the tradition of the day by having a quiet half-hour in the study with a decent scotch and a few of my favourite photos of him.

So in answer, for me it's about my Dad.

You may want to omit the actual medicinal component if you aren't drowning in snot as I was at the time. It would prob be even more pleasant on the tastebuds without it too.

Hmmm
I'd have thought the lemsip might make it lemsippy?

Yup I'll omit those and go for the rest. Anything with ginger in it gets my vote.

I mean...
ginger the plant... Not the pube colour.

Good that you have good memories of him.
Much better than having a father you don't care for.

I have one I'm not much fussed about, and the biological one died a couple of years ago. TBH, it was a relief. So I'm not the greatest fan of the day. Has always been about pretenses for me.
