I note it's 'Oak Apple Day' today the 29th, Charlie hid up an oak tree to escape capture from the Roundheads and some actually celebrated this escape of his.
Any pub called 'The Royal Oak' is named after this event, I wonder why it's not celebrated any more, aren't we supposed to wear an Oak leaf somewhere on our person in recognition of this event?

In the South West of Scotland, Chairlie Stuart and his brother James VII are villified as originators of the 'Killing Time'.
Nothing to celebrate.

No, there's not much credit due to us for how us English have treated the Scots in the past, I only mentioned the day as one of those obscure days that used to be celebrated; not by me you can stuff the very idea of royals wherever you like.

It's also National Biscuit Day, so you can celebrate that.

Unfortunately, neither Chairlie nor Jamie were English. Never mind - it's time for a Breakaway.
