Bucks Advent Calendar: Saturday 23 December – Your course Christmas crackers!
News
Date: 23rd Dec 2017
The largest Christmas cracker in the world measured 207 foot (63.1m) long and 13 foot (4m) in diameter and was made right here in Buckinghamshire!
The mammoth festive favourite was made by the parents of children at Ley Hill School and Pre-School, Chesham, on December 20, 2001.
But let’s be honest – after the gift – the cracker jokes are the best bit. Staff in University Communications tried to create a list of some course-related cracker jokes for you to enjoy (or roll your eyes at).
