In Sweden, it is December 24th that is The Real Yule day, not the 25th as in other parts of the world. That is purely for logistic reasons, giving me and my helpers additional time to visit all that have been nice and have eaten their spinach each day.
Well, I have read Terry Prachetās Discworld quite some time ago. Had to search on Google to see that the reference in Soul Music is from Kristy McColl song.
Quote:
Susanās friend swears the new boy at the fish shop is āelvishā (āThereās A Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Swears Heās Elvisā by Kirsty MacColl)
Here is a follow-up question:
Kirsty MacCollās song never became a hit in the USA,
presumably because in the States, very few know what
a chip shop is. So, Kirsty recorded a new version in
a muted tempo, where āElvisā worked somewhere else.
Thanks to this riddle I ended up finding a Reddit thread on Discworld jokes I missed. This gift is the true meaning of Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good read
