Where Has the Day Gone?
OK - this is a bit of a rant ... so look away now if you are
of a nervous disposition! Right! What
happened to the word day? All we hear these
days in connection with 14th February is ... Valentines! Now, should that be with an apostrophe or is
it plural?
At first it seemed to be just an American thing, but all
I've heard on UK tv and radio recently are sentences like - "Treat your love this Valentines"
?????? (plural or apostrophe?)!!! It is driving me mad. New Year's Day is rapidly going the same way!
I assume that all this ranting means that I have officially become a
grumpy old woman!!!!!
Love, Liz

For the record Liz, it is St Valentine's Day.
Celebrate Lupercalia instead, which is what St Val's day replaced. It involves much drinking, the slaughter of animals and the flailing of young people with the raw skins. Now that would be fun to watch! Not?

We should start a support group :-)
Happy weekend, hope the Clyde is not too stormy.
