Have you talked to the Council? They normally have officers who sort shit like this out.

Exactly the same my friend

As a British person I agree with your second point. Everyone should use Greenwich Mean Time which is obviously the correct time. Even if it means that noon is in the middle of the night for some people.

A very strange post. I live in a mid size English town (not a city) and can find all the cuisines you mention within a one mile radius of our town centre. Plus numerous others such as Greek, Turkish, French, Egyptian, Portuguese, Bangladeshi. Even American, god help me.

I can celebrate all the holidays you mention if I wanted to. Why wouldn’t I be able to?

You really need to get out more.

Yes I can. And disagree with virtually everyone else; I think that this along with virtually everything else by Dickens is absolutely top class writing. The meaning of every individual phrase isn’t the point, the whole passage just gives the perfect impression of the scene he is trying to convey. Also, remember much of Dickens’ stuff was written to be read out loud. Try that, it helps!
