 Hope everyone has a lovely holiday period.

I've been a bit absent recent as I got married on the 18th and have been away etc. Not to mention ridiculously busy the last few weeks in the run up.

Should be back to normal now and I have some stuff planned for the website to do soon too. Updates for more guides and a few other bits.

Anyway hope you all have a lovely time.

 Merry Christmas/Nadolig Llawen!

My family are spread out this year - Brisbane, Mold, Sheffield, Manchester - while we are at home by the Liverpool Bay seaside, but we'll all meet up sometime in 2020.

Best wishes to all members of C4Owners for 2020.

Joyeux Noël!

 "happy holidays" that very PC message to be non-offense to the modern snowflake world.

Not really, although I do get mildly amused when those who get offended by something entirely innocuous like to call others snowflakes. Glass houses and all that...

It’s a bit like those who berate others for ‘always having to have the last word’ are themselves always guilty of having to have the last word but have invariably been snookered.

There is more going on than just Christmas at this time of year. It isn't the only religious festival.

It's called having manners and including everyone.

Since when is being polite 'snowflake'? Practicing Christians are in a minority in this country, for most it's a season of holiday and consumption and for many their religious festivals fall at a different time. I would say happy Christmas to a local Vicar, if I said it to the Rabbi it's just plain insensitive. There's lots of language we used to use back in the '60s - what did we call the disabled child in our class, or anyone different in any way - but our attitudes evolve and our language evolves. Happy Christmas is fine, Happy Holidays is fine.

Snowflake is a pejorative term, unless used as a noun to describe the stuff that falls from the sky. Some nice people on this forum have sent good wishes using the language(s) of their choice. No need to be snarky and try to pick a fight with them - it says more about you than it does about them and seems at odds with the general good nature and collaboration in this forum.

So thanks, those who took the trouble to wish us well. Happy holiday, what little remains, to you all.


(on the general subject of being polite, I always shout "thank you" up the slot of the cashpoint machine when it dispenses what I asked for. You might think its an inanimate device, but as artificial intelligence improves and machines take over the world, they will remember and reward those of us that were nice to them back in the 2020s)
