St.David's Day has been Postponed

But only by a day.  It's happening tomorrow now due to today being Leap Year Day.

It gives me an extra 24 hours to find a daffodil.

It is also a chance for certain people who look 80 to celebrate their 20th birthdays.  The only famous person I can find (who is still alive) who is celebrating a birthday today is the 13 year old ex-Coronation Street actress Wendi Peters:
She'll be able to apply for a driving licence in 16 years time.

This is only the second time I've posted on February 29th - the other one was this one in 2016.

It's not like St.David's Day was ever going to be cancelled - unlike lots of other things right now - like today's Tranmere Rovers v Fleetwood Town - waterlogged pitch.

Also cancelled this year is the Geneva Motor Show.  This has nothing to do with calendar anomalies or with the current freak weather events but is as a direct result of Coronavirus.  Or more precisely, Covid-19 which just beat Diseasy McDiseaseface in the public vote to name this particular strain of Coronavirus - that being a generic brand that has been around for half a century.  I tackled Coronavirus last weekend.

Autocar are showing us, in true Jim Bowen Bullseye style what we could have won seen.  The article is here.

A lot of Chinese manufacturers were hoping to show off their goods and a lot of non-Chinese people were worried about meeting them.

One such manufacturer has the confusing name of AIways which, apart from being bad usage of English capitalisation, in a lot of fonts looks like the word "Always" - in fact, I had to change the font of it to make this sentence readable in Blogger.

The car itself is yet another SUV - and of course electric:
We really, REALLY, don't need another one - especially one that people will read as a female sanitary product.

Let's just cancel SUVs - it might just cut down the number of events cancelled due to freaky weather events.
