Sorry I will support P.Boylan in his count of continents, in my book there are
Africa, America, Asia,Europe and Oceania. But then I am rather old fashion. The
natives religions of Antartica, Oceania, (whom do penguins pray to?), America
and Oceania (this includes Australia,I believe) are probably not strongly
represented in Leicester, which is probably why Patrick did not mention their
festivals. (Do Australians have festivals?) (OOps sorry, I forgot ANZAC Day,)
(oops again I forgot it was not a religious festival).  >
