Rose suggested a better rhyme for the old carol:
-
Oh, the holly bears a berry as green as the grass
And Mary fled to Egypt on the back of an ass!
It works better if you pronounce ‘grass’ the way she does, rather than the way I do!

Ass-onance

Redundant Yuletide Instructions?
Waitrose are, once again, selling mice pies under the ‘Heston’ brand. Apparently, this is something to do with a celebrity chef and has nothing to do with Ben Hur.
Anyway, they’re rather good, as you can see from the emptiness of the packet.
However, I couldn’t help feeling that since they were mince pies, and in particular ‘Night Before Christmas Mince Pies’, the label ‘Best before 14th January’ might be somewhat superfluous?
