How's that?

Our sessions run until 7:25 during busy periods, which means I could be doing a climbing, abseiling etc. session in the dark...

This is something I have never heard of before.

Oh yeah, i heard that mentioned on a radio show once. It was topic of the night.

I'm wondering if this is where the term "taking the Mickey" comes from.

This is really an exciting thing. I am interested in learning a lot of stuffs like this. I wonder why people around the world use different date for festivals like Christmas.

The only people who use a different date for Christmas are the Orthodox Christians. They do this because they still date it by the Julian calendar, not the Gregorian calendar that we use. Currently, these calendars differ by 13 days (it will be 14 days after 2100), so Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on January 7th. All other Christians celebrate Christmas on 25th December.

I thought the Dutch had Christmas on a different day, for some reason.
