Oh yes, and I also assign the temporary madness which grips hold of people as Easter approaches and the shops are packed. The supermarket is only closed for one day yet people seem to think the apocalypse is upon them and have to fight over the bread. I mistakenly didn't shop online this week and went this morning instead and regretted it as endless people shoved trolleys into me so that I finally snapped and yelled at one offending woman. Alas, the shop assistant behind me thought I was shouting at her and I had to apologise to her so the object of my annoyance didn't even get my sharp tongue.
One more thing to add to the long list of reasons why Easter is my least favourite festival of the year.
And another is Easter present ads. What's that all about then? When I was a kid you got a couple of small chocolate eggs and the 'privilege' of spending four days in a cold caravan in the middle of a muddy Yorkshire field without any TV for entertainment, and a lecture about how you should 'think yourself lucky, I only got a boiled egg for easter when I was a child". Presents?!
