Yes, I know what you mean re Christmas adverts starting already. The other day, adverts for Christmas at Disneyland Paris were on ITV!

However, apparently the reality is that these events do get booked up quite a good few weeks before the date so I am just trying to "get in" early as I have family coming to stay this year.

All depends on individual wishes and priorities. Young children involved, disabled people's needs etc.

Staying at home is being considered as an option, especially with the excellent quality of meats available from Best Butcher in Ozankoy. But......my wife cooks me delicious meals throughout the year and it is nice to be able to go out and relax on big occasions. isn't it?

Its £199 per double room (£99.50 pp) and that incudes all meals and drinks!
£245 in a single room.

Vegetarian is the way to go forward so that the whole world can be fed, If you eat no meat then your body will no longer smell so bad from all the dead flesh you consume, and you will not need chemaical deodorants to cover it up. The planet is the only home we all have . so cherish it instead of killing it's other inhabitants to gratify your instant needs

From Wiki...
A British and Irish inquiry into BSE concluded the epizootic was caused by cattle, which are normally herbivores, being fed the remains of other cattle in the form of meat and bone meal (MBM), a protein supplement in concentrated feeds. Since dairy calves are generally fed concentrated feed after they are weaned, they usually develop this disease more often than beef cattle.
The cause of BSE may be from the contamination of MBM from sheep with scrapie that were processed in the same slaughterhouse...
... And apropos of nothing, "Casserole", in order to support your pleas to 'convert', would it not be more appropriate, to change your user name to Vegetable Casserole? After all, sadly(?) most people would associate the term 'casserole' with a dish of vegetables and meat....
