I know the chavs and chavettes of our little piece of England need little excuse and less encouragement to get rat-arsed on any day of the week. I am sure that if you put a cabbage on the stage of the Con club and told them it was Robbie Williams not only would they believe you but 95% would not even notice that it wasn't and you would still probably sell all your tickets.

But, pardon me for being a little pedantic here, Ken, don't you think that linking "Remembrance Sunday" and "celebration" in the same phrase gives entirely the wrong impression of what is the most sombre day in the national calendar?
I had hitherto been under the impression that Remembrance Sunday was intended as a day when the nation paused in its headlong pursuit of pleasure and profit and called to mind the apalling sacrifice offered on behalf of the nation by the dead of two world wars. Regardless of how much might be raised for a worthy cause, do you not find it just a tad tacky, tasteless and disrespectful to be holding a fancy dress knees-up?

As has already been mentioned by lancsdave, VE Day and VJ Day are more appropriate occaisions for a WW2 themed knees-up, not Remembrance Sunday.

Please, could we not show a little more respect?
