Must be quite hard to work out how long ago something happened.

It is even worse than that, Bert. It goes in a 60 year cycle. This is a Yang Earth Dog year.

If you mean me, Pete, the link I gave above gives actual dates for the past and coming 60 year cycles.

Maybe he means me but he's missing an 'S' 
I'm pretty close by, working in Japan, but still have to endure the Chinese celebrations. It's not the year numbering that's troubling but the fact that they love to go a-visiting during the holiday period which means lots and lots and lots of loud, shouty people in the hotels who then go outside and collide with everybody because they have absolutely zero SA. Far better for everyone if they celebrate the New Year at home

Perfect! Just what I needed: Makes my OP meaningless so I've deleted it.
Edit: well it doesn't actually but I'm overcome with indifference.....

I was delighted to be able to wish visitors to JAM from HK Happy New Year today. I just hope I got the tones right

There's always moon cake for Chinese New Year!
Not that I'm particularly keen on moon cake.

Can't be. Doesn't have numbers.
Oh. Maybe it does.
