Winterval

Listened to the head stamp keeper or whatever of the Royal Mail eat humble pie this morning over issuing a Christmas stamp that some Hindus found offensive (straight after an item on Lambeth scrapping Christmas for "winterval"). I wondered why, if the keepers at the Bombay musueum where the image was borrowed from were "delighted" with the image being used, British Hindus were so quick to take offence?

You forgot to mention that Lambeth is a Liberal Democrat controlled council.

See what happens when you vote for the orange people? Wake up no good ever comes of voting Lib Dem.

I personally will this yera be celebrating Chrismakka, courtesy of the OC, a perfect blend of Christmas and Hanukkah, which cheerfully manages to ensure that no one loses out. Well mostly.
