Just a had piece of Christmas Cake which the missus bought in M+S and I thought back to many years ago when my mam used to make her own Christmas Cake and Christmas Pudding. I can’t imagine many people do that nowadays.

My stepson does it with his auntie every year, it's a bit of a family tradition.

They start it in September and it gets drowned is full bottles of brandy and orange juice every couple of weeks for the months after.

It used to be Costa Dorada but for some stupid reason it’s now called the Costa Maresme and I can guarantee that hardly anybody outside Cataluña has got a clues where it is. Anybody who came here during the boom years of the 70s and 80s wouldn’t recognise the place.

thats right - belting through your dinner to get to the pudding in the hope you'd bite a sixpence - little knowing your Mum had already inserted it into your portion before brining the bowls to the table
