Well the day off has a further purpose: At weekends people usually don't have much time to take trips,go shopping or have rich meals——to sum up,to consume. While on short holidays, most people do have plenty of time. Therefore, short holidays with days off is a grEAT way to raise consumption, as well as the government finance.

The primary meaning of a word comes first in the dictionary and that is cake!

I'm not fighting this battle. I have been gravely wounded by Martin's chocolate before etymology policy.

So if we put chocolate in something it becomes the preferred default?

Three glasses of wine down and I still don't know what happened here. Everything is a lie.

Triple chocolate trumps dictionaries. What. Wait, what? WHAT!? Do my eyes deceive me?! Is Moff Martin, the very lexicographical heart of the Hub, putting chocolate chippery before the Oxfordian Dictionary of English?! Every Man has his price. Every rose has its thorn. Every Moff has his muffin. Every race horse has its mount. Every shadow has its source of light. (I don't think I'm helping...)

Martin has broken Pinwig. No children. No! Don't listen to me preach about the majesty and lyricism of the English language, for Martin says we must eat chocolate fairy cakes instead. Decline of civilisation? Pshaw! Let them eat cake!

So if we put chocolate in something it becomes the preferred default? No. There is poor quality chocolate, and chocolate goes badly with many things. However, I have yet to meet anything bad that begins with the words 'triple chocolate'. As a result of this discussion, I have decided to buy triple chocolate muffins from Greggs today. I will pour cream on them. And eat them. It's not the chocolate chips so much as the chocolate sauce centre that makes them glorious. Martin

And how about your teeth??? They're fine. I'm 45 and I've had just one filling in my life, over a decade ago. I maintain very good oral hygiene (electric toothbrush + flossing), and a healthy weight, by walking briskly wherever I go. For example, I just walked a mile in 15 minutes to buy triple chocolate muffins from Greggs, and then another mile back again. And there are worse things than chocolate for your teeth. Such as too much of certain kinds of fruit. Martin
