Thanksgiving isn’...That’s a very informative list. Thanksgiving isn’t known about much outside North America. I have always wondered why Thursday was picked instead of Friday. I do know that the Pilgrims set sail not from Plymouth, but from Tilbury, in not one ship but two – the Mayflower and the Speedwell. It seems they had bought a lemon, because the Speedwell was not seaworthy and they had to turn back when they were less than a hundred miles west of England. They put in at Plymouth, and everyone piled onto the Mayflower, which was a little chamber pot of a ship, and they started out westwards again on what by all accounts was a pretty miserable journey. If you read a list of what they took with them, you’ll see that the Pilgrims weren’t the sharpest knives in the box! To carve out a new living in unknown territory they took not one axe, billhook, hammer, fishing rod or saw! But they did have a three-volume history of the Ottoman Empire, so that was all right! <BR/><BR/>Nicholas<BR/><BR/><A>http://agentlemansdomain.typepad.com</A>Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01807416124701033393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300810255210028647.post-85577770808508911482007-11-15T15:16:00.000-08:002007-11-15T15:16:00.000-08:00Thanks for the warm welcome ladies!

As we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in the UK, I was relatively ignorant about the whole occasion. Now, thanks to your TT, I am far better informed. Welcome to TT!
