even St Patrick's Day is not a public holiday in NSW.

Just realised St David, St Patrick, St George and St Andrews' days aren't Bank Holidays here. Perhaps we need a RC campaign to get all of them made into holidays.

 ;D

Nought better than a proper home made cornish pastie in one hand and a hot cuppa black tea in the other and standing in the middle of a forest (of headstones) in regional NSW, while determining which headstone to photograph first..... 

I don't think that I  have facebook, twitter or Goggle + presence.   Is there an old fashioned way to do petitions?

Cheers,  JM

There probably is, like sticking a stamp on an envelope and walking to the post box. Or perhaps writing to the newspaper.

The best combination though, has to be Cornish Pasty and Yorkshire Tea, followed by a slice of Bara Brith.
