Merry Christmas!
OK, so it’s June, but down here in the Southern Hemisphere they’ve started celebrating what they call ‘Midwinter Christmas’. The supermarkets are decked out with Christmas trees and the like, and Christmas hits replace the usual tat on the soundsystem. Apparently some people eat turkey and Christmas pud today, the 25th June. It’s all a bit of a lighthearted joke but it does liven up the season a bit.
The first Lions v All-Blacks test match is tonight.
