Am totally puzzled by all this talk about Thanksgiving Day in late November—everybody knows the right day for Thanksgiving is July 4th, when we got rid of the ungrateful colonials!
@cstross Ummm... "ungrateful colonials"? Before the Act of Union of 1707 weren't y'all actually an ungrateful "kingdom" that wouldn't submit?
@jgobble No, you forgot that England borrowed the Scottish monarchy in 1603 (and forgot to give it back).
@cstross Oh, that Union of the Crowns thingie. Sorry. I hadn't gotten that far in Wolf Hall...
[ps: for all the people that don't get it, I know Wolf Hall doesn't cover that period]
