Miss E. M. HEWITT : ' Shrove Tuesday '

on 2LO London and 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

QHROVE TUESDAY has long ceased to have much actual meaning for an age that has forgotten how to fast and for which Ash Wednesday has no rigours in store. But there are still some pleasant old customs associated with the day, and the Westminster pancake-tossing is as typically English an institution as the Mardi Gras celebrations are typically French. Miss Hewitt will describe some of the Shrove Tuesday traditions in to-day's talk.
