Bloody Elgar

The traffic lights really have it in for me at the moment. I haven’t placed any offerings to the traffic light goblins since moving up here, mostly because, well, I forgot.
I know, I know.
I suspect Elgar stayed behind in Exeter, but the Second Cousin Ivans are being contrary and for the last week in particular have apparently been taking great delight in making me stop.
Normally feeding of the goblins is a Winter Solstice event. I’m just wondering if I can do it earlier in the year, and, if so, do I need to adjust the offerings? Do we think Scottish goblins like jelly babies? Would a return to the bread and milk be advisable? Is it the one good use of a vegetarian haggis? Does anyone else want to join in?
I need to do something. I’m starting to sympathise with red light jumpers.
