Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Franz
Happy Birthday to you

Even if I am a cantankerous old argumentative octogenarian?

Many thanks, Janet. I appreciate it more than you realise.

But to get to the point: How on earth did you discover when my
birthday is, a n that I am not a mere youngster?

Give 'im the bumps I say :0)



That custom seems to have all but died out, I fear. Besides, he
might prefer
a tradition associated with a country other than England, there are
quite a
few to choose from, according to
http://www.ebirthdaycards.org/traditions.htm

That made an interesting read.
