    I am still recovering from my 89th birthday last year; when my wife told me there was no Santa Clause, we nearly came to a punch up as I know there is a Santa, my Mum told me when I was two so there. My sock will be over the end of the bed on Xmas Eve; and probably over my head on Xmas morning.

    Christmas and new year for us will be on a cruise/.
    Fantastic time and Santa comes up the hawsepipe.

    As a young lad I was always saying s*** and my dad said if you keep saying that all you will get for Christmas is a bag of it.
    Come Christmas morning there at the foot of the bed a bag of horses s***.
    What did you get fort Christmas asked my sister.
    A horse I think, must be around somewhere as he left his calling card here.

    When the EU was going through the phase of making rules in produce and amongst all the new regulations was the straight banana . I immediately thought of the very first banana I ever saw was on Christmas morning 1947 It was curled around a candlestick on the mantelpiece , and have always associated of bananas being bent. It is the way God made them. I think when such a rule was made was the start of people seeing the incongruency of the law making of the future and had no wish to be part of it. I still wonder what they do with the bent ones.JS

    How well I remember my first banana, a similar time. I believe gov.uk announced that all kids would get a free banana after the end of the war. I was eating it, and walking along in the garden, when my brother, (merrily swinging on a swing) belted me under the chin with his boots. My Mum always told me that when I came around, all I wanted to know was where's my banana.
    Sorry for going off topic.

    HI John.
    Bent bananas: and where they went.
    Next time you watch the overseas news on TV observe how many of the EU politicians walk with a stoop.

    Then there was the UCL first class winger looking at a cucumber and saying how straight they were.
    Well he may be bent but a bent banana is no good to him.

    Might be good for the bent politician though might straighten his backbone a little .JS.
