A date has not yet been decided, but it could be in November or between Christmas and year end. ..... .....This includes all categories of frontline workers...

I feel like if you work in retail this is going to be a nightmare.

A bank holiday is a bank holiday though.

how turkey legs have somehow been accepted as the stereotypical european medieval food

What? no part of this makes sense

 

[Cormcolash]

It's totally real, I saw it in one of the trailers for Celtic Druids

Erm ... I still don't get it. Is this some corner of pop culture I have missed out on? Should I ask my kids?

I don’t know, it seems like for a long time in cartoons that old Medieval types were always chomping on turkey legs but the turkey was not brought back to Europe until later. Maybe they were all eating swans.

Really? This is very confusing. I have an image in my head of a bunch of medieval people sitting around a big table eating a feast. And there'll always be one, like a gluttonous monk or a brave warrior with a huge turkey drumstick in his hand munching away and slurping a goblet of wine. It's what I think of when I imagine a medieval feast, which I don't think of often tbf.

You don't think of that? That's mad.

The first part of the tweet is also relevant

I guess maybe I missed out on some cartoons when I was little or something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

there was no Horrible Histories in them days.
I didn't know turkeys were American to be honest
