The country publican told me some of her customers were only kissed once a year, and that was at New Year’s Eve. I often saw the manoeuvres myself in our place but that was a few years ago.

Normally, we get somewhat teary-eyed when humming along with _Auld Lang Syne_ at midnight on New Years Eve, causing us to reminisce over the year gone by while "taking a cup of kindness" as the song suggests to those old acquaintances that "shouldnt be forgot." But this...
