B, we use a sensible number of candles.

The table setting looks very virtuous..... enough to save the planet all on its own.; 6 October 2020 at 09:28
Mark Wadsworth said...: FT, "LV" is my age in Latin numerals. So I thought I'd go with the theme and asked Google Translate for the Latin word for "today". There were several possible words and I chose the shortest.

Re table setting - we had vegan guests.; 6 October 2020 at 09:37
formertory said...: Ah, thank you for explaining. I'd run through every Liverpool Victoria possibility I could think of (even green salad veg / green LV branding), mentally reviewed those of their irritating TV ads I could recall, wondered if the "V" was for Vegan (given the table) and if so where that took me. "Hodie" in Google gave me pages of da yoof garments, innit. Clearly, not a Game of Thrones "Hodor" reference. But Latin, that's obscure... I'm just a simple grammar school boy of half a century ago, not a large blond muppet with a Classics degree :-)

Mark Wadsworth said...: FT, yes "LV" was in itself misleading (Liverpool Victoria) so I did the next word in Latin as a clue. I didn't do it at school either, it's not like I'm ever going to go to a country where they still speak it.; 6 October 2020 at 12:47
