    We drank a lot of Miller Beer, whilst wearing really bad shirts. For preference a Maple Leaf motif was involved.

    The Canadia theme was little more than titular, if I'm entirely honest.

    I and several plus several more of my tribal friends and relatives (augmented by a double-handful of Finns) celebrated Cinco de Mayo for years.

    We noticed one year the Latinos had us outnumbered.

    We subsequently confirmed they came into the country via Canada.

    Cinco de Mayo has changed.

    I have no idea what that means, however thanks for the input.

    Sounds fantastic! I wasn't aware that there was an event which could sway you from your apple predilection.

    How come it's past-tense, is it the fags thing?

    More of a ships / night thing. Remember I'm 76, so some of my "used to" stories are prior to you even existing.

    I had a few pints in a bar in Leeds recently, no smokers so no temptation it was kewl.
