14 Things Anyone Who's Ever Celebrated Pancake Tuesday Will Recognise

Pancake Tuesday is upon us and as any good Catholic knows, it's the day before the first day of Lent aka the last day we can eat whatever we want before we ~give it all up for 40 days until Easter~ (does anyone do it still?) It's also a pretty fun day. Here's some Pancake Tuesday memories you'll definitely recognise if you have ever celebrated it:
