Can understand the Irish,(and all their superstitions) but the Welsh Methodists and the Scottish Kirk having Saints think is going a bit far
That's a good point, but there's a patron saint for everything now, even television! St Clare for those who were wondering....

As I said about Christmas, whatever the origins are it's a damn fine excuse to celebrate!
