Fathers Day.

As well as being the longest day, today is also Fathers Day, the day when fatherhood is celebrated. I dont doubt that, throughout the land, fathers have had their breakfast brought to them in bed, providing they are not suffering hangovers, and they are being presented with copies of AC/DC's greatest hits or mugs inscribed with lines like 'Worlds Greatest Dad' by greatful offspring. I also dont doubt that the pubs will be doing a roaring trade in sunday roasts at lunchtime and that the likes of Clinton Cards will have had their profits suitably boosted.

So all we can say to all the fathers reading the blog is have a good day and all we can say to their partners and offspring is give the old man the telly control this afternoon and let him watch that fishing programme that he likes instead of the the omnibus edition of Eastenders which usually takes precedence.
