Stuart & Mike have sorted something out for today and have mentioned a few things that they would they would not entertain just to wind me up, some of them sounded ok to me, it must be an age thing

Whatever and wherever we end up doing today it will as a family. 

Enjoy your day today Dads! its one day less of servitude and washing up

Regards

What IS "Fathers day"?

I notice (with some pleasure) that unlike Mothering Sunday, it isn't highlighted on our NBN calander.

An invention of the American greetings card market to balance Mothers' Day and turn a handy dollar. This is not to say it's unwelcome of course but a nice opportunity to celebrate dads.

Mothering Sunday is much older as I am sure you know, and refers to 'Mother Church' not your mummy. Servants though were given a half holiday to take a cake home to mum on this Sunday and so the meaning changed. It's probably in the calendar on account of its older meaning?

Whatever it is or wherever it came from doesn't really matter, My Dad has been and is amazing, I am glad for a day to be able to tell him so, he would move mountains for me, has always been there when I need him and is my hero

Thank you Dad

I hope you don't mind, Iain, but I have been thinking of you, you must be thinking of your Grace, have a lovely day
