The Ides Of March Approach - And In That Madness We Wish To Have Another Sale

As March arrives so too come the Ides Of March on the 15th of the month when many religious events occurred in the Roman Calendar as well as the famous assassination of Julius Caesar which spelled the end of the Roman Republic and the beginning of the Roman Empire.

It is not without reason that this event took place in March as it is spring time in the Northern Hemisphere, when people shake off the winter blues and life renews. Good or bad it is a time of change. For Christians it is a time that we observe Easter, which never seems to make sense in a country like Australia where Easter is observed going into Autumn. Easter must therefore make a lot more sense to Northern Hemisphere inhabitants where the the ascension of Christ to heaven and the breaking of the fast must coincide well, in an agrarian historical sense, for the time of year when food was most scarce at the end of winter whilst waiting for the first spring vegetables to come off the land.

I digress, it's time for a sale, it's time to clear off more stock and make way for new ideas and new products. The Ides of March approach, we promise you there will be blood on the doorstep and you will get your pound of flesh.
