Quote ="The Chronicler of Chiswic"Yes, a Merry Christmas to one and all and a toast to absent friends having their Christmas dinner (or should that be Barbie?) round the pool in their back gardens.
On a historical note, my mother remembered how, when she was a girl in Port Pirie before the war, a lot of the ex-Brits still insisted on having the full British Christmas dinner even when it was over ninety in the shade and a howling gale was blowing the sand in off the Simpson desert. Does that still go on?'"
