Pretty sure that I’ve never had Toblerone for Father’s Day, I always get a humorous card from my younger son, and a phone call/ WhatsApp, but with monotonous regularity, I get a WhatsApp from my elder son late on the day, with the same outlandish excuse every year, “Sorry dad, I’ve only just found out that it’s Fathers Day over there, hope you had a good one.”
He’s lived in Germany for circa 30 years, and Fathers Day there is May 30th.
Back to Toblerone, I took my wife and her brother to the airport early on Thursday, they’re visiting friends in Ireland.
As she won’t be home until late on Sunday, I dropped into a large, upmarket Supermarket on the way home, to get some edible snails, and the fixings to bubble up a 3 day pot of either Jambalaya or Gumbo.
The first thing that hit me on the way in, was a humongous stack of Toblerone, labelled FATHERS DAY JUNE 16th.
