Sîon Corn

Santa Claus (Sîon Corn in Welsh) was for 700 hundred years draped in a green coat with white furry trimmings. Then Coca Cola came along in 1901 and marketed Santa with a red coat.

Is it time to change him back to green?

In the U.S. that suggestion would be construed as an act of war (against Christmas).

MacDonalds used to sell root beer in the UK. Not anymore. Great shame (their burgers are crap though).

In Austria McDonalds has really good burgers, why are those in the UK crap?
