National "What" Day
« on: July 18, 2016, 19:20:53 PM »
The last time I posted something like this it fell like a lead balloon. But undaunted, here goes

Radio Five ran this earlier today. You have to nominate what you would have as a National Day.

e.g. National "don't drop litter" day OR National "cover up the naff tattoos" Day.

What would yours be.

National "not using anything electrical" day.

No tv, mobiles, pc's, tablets, kettles (unless on a gas hob or open fire), telephones.

I spent a few days with the Amish people in Ohio a while back.

Bliss.

Couldn't cope in the long term but what a relaxing way to be.

Orthodox Jews do that every week.

National Honesty day. That'd be good for a laugh, although they'd have to have it during parliament recess.

National Ban on Text-Speak Day.

This just seen on a Facebook group timeline from my old hometown:

'Any1 no wot events in town this wend? Kid-free n defiantly* up 4 a gd nite out!'

*I suppose one could argue that she does mean this rather than 'definitely'.

How about National sack a politician day?

Text the name of your least favourite incumbent to 84552 by 18.00hrs and whoever gets the most texts will be off the payroll by 20.00hrs.
