Today I was told by a lass on the tele that today was the official start of summer. Now, call me a traditionalist, but I am sure that summer used to start on the Summer equinox, and that June 21st (or is it June 22nd) was actually the official start of the summer season. So, when did the officials move summer? And why?

Does winter officially start on December 1st now? Will Christmas be moved to match the official start of winter now that all the pagans are dead and no longer celebrate midwinter, or will the Christians keep the 25th for old times sake?

And what about spring and autumn? Will the equinoxes (or is that equini) be scrapped in favour of the start of the cricket season and the end of the F1 Grand Prix season? Where will it all end?
