I was walking through the local market last week, wearing my
EU
beret:
One of the stallholders shouted at me, "You should be wearing it half-on
and half-off!"
I walked through the market again yesterday. Another acquaintance mentioned the Halloween extension, and told me that it would have been much better had we left today. Astrologically speaking, he said, April 12th is auspicious. October 31st is not.
