I'm with Richo on this one.   It's the longest night and the shortest day.

Also called Midwinter

    Summer's on the way

First day of Winter

where ????

Ah,  good old Camberwell market.

I remember you had to wear 2 prs gloves, 3 scarves, a beanie and

p'raps 2 coats and a torch.      And that was just to buy.

If you wanted to sell,  well,  double all that

I think it's really midwinter isn't it?  If you read back a little julia, you'll see that youcan said it was a mistake... So there you go.. It's no big deal.

youcan think of all the poor people who were up at 4am to set up their market stalls....  we were just coming home from a night out and I don't remember ever being so cold

[imastawka]

You, night owl, you.

I used to sit at a market all day.  Buyers used to say 'it's not that  cold'

I always countered with 'Would you get up at 5am and

sit in your backyard all day, without going inside once?'

Shut 'em up.      Sometimes earned nothing all day
