That's the way to do it!
Remember the good old days when you could take dogs in to the pub?We tend to go with Rescue Remedy when anything stresses out any of ours. Alcohol not being terribly good for dogs.
Did the schnapps help?
I don't remember that. I was probably too young to take dogs to the pub thoughRemember the good old days when you could take dogs in to the pub?

Joseph who? Not a brewery I've heard of.If I'm old enough to remember it.........
You must just go into some nice pubs, obviously never been in a Joseph Holts one.
Joseph Holts is a Manchester brewery, the pubs are traditional types of pubs.Joseph who? Not a brewery I've heard of.
My Nan used to run a pub and dogs were allowed in but she said that dogs couldn't have beer as it was bad for them but she turned a blind eye to cheese and onion crisps being fed. Because my Nan was a well known local landlady, a lot of the other landlords and landladies knew us grandkids on sight and wouldn't have served us in a pub anyway. Added to that they'd have told her that we'd been in and she'd have murdered us all in our beds.
Up until the age of about 25, I was too busy with work, studies, more work, horses and dogs to really go into pubs. I was a bit of a late starter really. I have tried to make up for it since though.
Fortunately armchair research is able to inform such armchair debates.Debate rages in the rjh household.
When we lived in Leicester and the fireworks started going off in mid-October, we always used to say 'that's Diwali celebrations'.
Living now in a South Cambs commuter village, the local Hindu population is, to put it mildly, less visible than in Leicester. But when the fireworks started tonight, Mrs rjh still thought it was for Diwali, whereas I reckon it's just the natives getting overexcited and they just can't wait for November 5th.
This is an armchair debate only as we couldn't be a*sed to go and find the source of the fireworks and question the perpetrators.
Knowing where we live it seems about as likely as Diwali - although following @srw's, as always, admirable research I am beginning to reconsider.If the fireworks were last night, perhaps they were commemorating beating the Dastardly French at Agincourt, what with it being St Crispin's day.
I admit this is an unlikely reason.
Spazzers? FFS!!!! Why, spazzers!
