Everyone I think!

What did you think it was? Confused

CaptainMyCaptain · 25/02/2020 21:36

Yes everyone.

Not me! Of course thinking about it, it is but had never occurred till now and no one has ever told me before!

CtrlU · 25/02/2020 21:38

Really ??? Thought that would have been bigger news

No, it’s not fair to say everyone knew that, it’s not like Mardi Gras happens in this country on every village green is it?!

Fat Tuesday. I only found this out in the past few years and I’m quite old and quite worldly!

TheThingWithFeathers · 25/02/2020 21:45

Yeah...

I only made the connection a few years ago myself.

I only figured this out a couple of years ago. Shrove Tuesday, then Fat Tuesday, then Mardi Gras.

Still call it Pancake Day though! (Or sometimes Jif Lemon Day...don’t forget the pancakes on....)
