And tomorrow is?

Post by Bryan »

With all the comments about a certain German dictator on another thread.
I thought I would ask the question "What day is Tomorrow?"

Which German dictator and which thread? I am always keen to see examples of Godwin's Law.

Correct

And did you notice all the patriotism evident around the country?

Would it help I wonder if we had a chain of "English Pubs"

What would "English pubs" be like?

An 18th century style coaching inn, an inner-city beer house from the 19th century, a Dales village pub, barely distinguishable from an ordinary house and which the landlord ran as a sideline to farming? Or a red-brick corner pub from the 1950s, where unaccompanied women were seen as morally suspect and the landlord would throw you out if you didn't consume your drink(s) fast enough?

Quite a variety, yet all traditionally English at one point or another.

Last time I was over in England, I couldn't help but notice just how many pubs were closed or converted into ethnic restaurants. Even my late father in law's old pub, in which he was a regular all his life, is now a private house.

G'Day Gents

Here in Oz, it will be ANZAC day, a day to remember the landings at Gallipoli in 1915, and the sacrifice of the men who served there country in times of war.

Lest We Forget.
