Those who know me are aware that I have some American linkage, therefore the honouring of it. I like the festival too as it's family oriented and no heavy commercialism to it (though the day after is the biggest US sale day of the year) - also, over there it draws a line under all the early Christmas hogwash when it comes to in-store displays and advertising. It's a shame we don't have anything like that or come up with something to 'break' between August Bank Holiday and the 25th of the 12th.
I like LIK's and Mamyas.....thanks to all so far. Trigger's was par for the course.
