Father's Farewell

British Bank holidays are public holidays and have been recognized since 1871. The name Bank Holiday comes from the time when banks were shut and so no trading could take place.

I know that Rob, our Marketing Guru, along with Marie who assists with our buying and ensures that all our bills are paid on time, as well as Lisa, who organises so competently our equestrian department really believe that i was around at the first ever Bank Holiday, such ideas i assure them are completely without foundation, but i do recall the first time a man landed on the moon! Sadly though i am unable to recall when Everton last won the 1st division or Premier League Championship.

However you will be delighted to know that we, like the Windmill Theatre during the blitz of the Second World War (which they say was a bit raunchy side) never closed.

We never close either and our valued customers are able to order online 24/7.

We have just heard that one of our female members of staff will be taking up a vocation as a nurse in the New Year, so any of you guys reading this and need an operation, i suggest you postpone it until 2010.

I have enjoyed writing these blogs, but will be delighted when Dawn is back in work on Tuesday. To all of you out there who have sent me emails saying how boring and hopeless my blogs are, all i can say is that I'll contact you again when Dawn is next on holiday.

Fond Farewells
Father
