1 - You can travel 5000 miles away from the UK and still be tortured by Slade and George Michael every time you step into a shop in November and December.
2 - Japanese christmas cards, when you get them home and read the messages, are more like Valentine's cards.
3 - Christmas dinner will be cooked this year by people who admit they can't cook. Duck and cover, everyone.
4 - If you start reading a Scottish book (The Pure Land, by Alan Spence, about Thomas Glover) written in vernacular Scots, you will revert to an impenetrable Scottish accent unintelligable to anyone other than your own countrymen. Gonnae no dae that, ken?
