Your Say

Poll: Are you giving anything up for Lent?

Lent is on the way. But fortunately, so is Pancake Tuesday.

RELIGIOUS OR NOT – for many of us, Lent provides a welcome post-winter opportunity to test our willpower or try and get in shape.

The evenings are getting longer, so the task is nowhere near as arduous as the dreaded ‘Dry January’.

In case you’re wondering why we’re bringing it up – Lent kicks off this coming Wednesday (which, of course, means we also have Pancake Tuesday to look forward to the previous day).

This morning we’re asking: Are you giving something up for Lent?


Poll Results:

No. (4488)
Yes. (2740)
Haven't decided yet. (1123)
