Happy Thanksgiving To All

“Not exactly what I meant by a nice bird with a big chest…however.”

Thank god heaven left us, Standing on our feet…

It’s the third Thursday of November and that means Thanksgiving in the US of A. For the benefit of some of us Europeans that are wondering why we’re getting no e-mail from our American friends today, it’s because they’re too stuffed to move.

Thanksgiving is a time when Americans celebrate, with the aid of food (turkey in particular), the perseverance of the Pilgrims who sailed into Plymouth harbour aboard the Mayflower almost 400 years ago…and it’s a nod of appreciation to a rather helpful Abnaki Indian with some pretty useful gardening tips who went by the name of Squanto.

Anyway, you don’t need any history lessons from some flaky Limey…so eat, be merry…and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
