The first recorded Christmas dinner was served to King Henry VIII, but the tradition has been around for a lot longer. By 1573, roast turkey was a staple of Christmas dinners.
High Wycombe hosts an annual Mayor Weight-In. The symbolic event sees the mayor being weighed on an 1800s scale by men in period clothes. The mayor's weight is then recorded and kept for one year. The town crier then announces the mayor's new weight.

How can I learn self protection at home
There are many ways you can improve your self defense skills. Martial arts is the best place to begin. Martial Arts teach you how not to use weapons. They help to build confidence as well as fitness. Online classes are also available at most schools. It's important to know what type of martial art you want to learn. Do you want to learn Kung Fu? Or perhaps Karate? While these styles are quite different, both are excellent options. They differ mainly in the way they fight. Kung fu, by contrast, focuses on grappling or kicking while karate focuses only on striking techniques.
A school should consider offering instruction in multiple forms. This is the variety of martial arts styles offered by a school. Some schools focus on just one form of martial art such as Tai Chi, while others may offer instruction in several different types of martial arts. It doesn't matter what martial art you choose, you should make sure that the school you choose is accredited. Ask around to see who has been there, and ask about their training history and the background of the instructors. Talk to someone who teaches at the school if you can.

A stun gun uses electricity for incapacitating someone. The electric shock causes muscle contractions that prevent them moving. They are unable to fight back.
Stun guns typically work best when used on your neck or head.

Some stun guns make high-pitched sounds that scare off attackers. These types of stun guns are called TASERs.
