I am expecting a depressing tirade on Xmas Day but hopefully it will be in the seasonal style of Charles Dickens.

Will Brexit affect the working relationship of Ebenezer Scrooge and Bob Cratchit? Will Brexit inspired benefit cuts have an impact on the lifestyle of Tiny Tim? Mr Micawber's financial probity may not last as he is required to borrow money to keep his head above water? Uriah Heap (your 'umble servant Mr Copperfield) will find his job at risk without the security blanket of the welfare state. Oliver Twist will head for the foodbank.

Brexit? Humbug!

These are difficult times in Manchester...........

Some people are just obsessed. Let it go for one day

Oh well done for showing an example in good grace OP.

Oleo has already left his best wishes on another thread. Here you are, post 28.

S N A P.

Expect nothing in 2017 but the same evasions and waffle from Headmistress 'Wackford' May and her team of 'Do-the-boys' has-beens, windbags, opportunists, liars and incompetents. Old Squeers would have proud of them! Indeed, if Fagin ever needed to recruit a new bunch of carpetbaggers and spivs he couldn't do better than take on the members of the May cabinet. Smeared and stained by hypocrisy, spin and ego this disreputable gang of opportunists have no more diplomatic skill than a snowman. Indeed their empty words are already melting away into nothingness in the heat of the debate about the Brexit nonsense. No doubt they will try and cover up their official nakedness with the usual tattered rags of jingoism and false-patriotism. It's going to be a very interesting springtime for them when all of us Oliver Twists are clamouring for something more solid to fill our empty bowls than the broken promises and soundbites that have been ladled out so far by Misress May.
