Stoat - Where?

Australia day means different things to different people. For many, it’s a nice family day out with facepainting and fireworks. For others, it’s just a welcome extra day off. But for the vast majority, it’s an excuse (as if they needed one) for beer, BBQs and the beach. I was keen to enjoy the festivities, but wanted to retain my sense of Englishness (not that people let me forget it with the cricket results the way they are at the moment). I was half-tempted to paint the George Cross on my face to counter all the Southern Crosses out there, but in the end just went for wearing my England shirt and quoting Little Britain as often as possible.

Australia Day is fast approaching and the issue of patriotism is again coming to the fore. This year, through a series of adverts on TV, everyone is being encouraged to Vote Lamb. The address on the front page has been broadcasting in prime time for the last couple of weeks - I guess they’re trying to ‘chop the vote’. What would we eat for England Day, if it existed?
