  • Ami, get the feeling your Boxing Day will be even more fun than Christmas day!
    My mum could be a star in Royle Family: "I think it's 11 hours difference to Sydney, but I just google up Sydney when I need to know. It's AMAZING what you can do!"

    Teaching her to save that link rather than google every single time, it's just too exhausting to think about !!:rotfl:Bless her....
  • Good old Mr Wiki :T :T
    Origins
    Boxing Day dates back to past centuries when it was the custom for the wealthy to give gifts to employees or to people in a lower social class, most especially to household servants and other service personnel.
  • Ami, my mum agreed with you, not so daft, she says one guy is "turning the other cheek" !!
