Tis Christmas day

[biggs682]

Hope you all have a good day
Drink and eat as much as you need
But spare a moment or thought for those that haven't got any

Don't think we've forgotten anything this year, mind when I was a youth there was a shop in Enderby that opened for 2 hours on Christmas day
Wickhams opened from 10 - 12 and there would be a queue 50 yards long down the road, pretty much all blokes buying mainly fags, booze and Bisto. The queue would then move to waiting outside one of the pubs that opened on Christmas lunchtime for a 'pre dinner' pint or six before tottering off home.

Yuletude felicitations to one & all 🎄

Spare a thought, also, for those working today: all the emergency services, hospital staff, hospitality including my granddaughter who is working 13:00 until 19:00 serving Christmas Dinner to many folk 🤶

We had a shop like that,a Jewish family ran it.I remember buying better football boot laces on Christmas day from them.

We'd an off licence cum corner shop that sold anything but alcohol when it opened for a few hours on Christmas morning for those forgotten items.
We'd a fair few in the emergency services in the area back then, and they knew he'd be open.

Nah, Frank Wickham was English and him and his lad Robert (Bob) used to open the shop and reckoned they took more money in 2 hrs than a normal day but the main reason for opening was summat to do whilst their wives got on with Christmas dinner. Frank had a big (really big Detached Bungalow on the 'unadopted' part of Equity road (cheap rates at the time) whilst Bob provided security at night by living in the flat over the shop.
Bob was a nice bloke, an old rocker/biker with a couple of good bikes, a Velocette 'Venom' Thruxton and a Vincent 'Comet' (both 500cc singles) but he was an engineer..................his wife worked in the shop though (full time)
