Boxing day is very upstairs downstairs. Even the plebs in England get the 25th off these days .

It's another cultural differentiator - we name the day after a saint and they name it after Henry Cooper.

I've shrugged off many English things over the years. Football (not a difficult one), Northern Ireland, squaddie worship, Father Christmas, pork scratchings, asking you to say turty tree tousand, fruit machines in pubs, yellow number plates, fear and loathing of the metric system. All just things the English say or do and nothing sinister is meant by it. Heck, I even let it slide when people refer to that settlement on the banks of the Foyle by anything other than its proper name. But Boxing Day? No matter how many times I hear it, I think they're taking the piss. They're not, that's what they call it. But I've never adjusted.

Yes it is better to fall in line with what the English do, because they are more knowledgeable and more religious and have more money than the stupid Irish.  And how dare anyone question that.

Boxing Day is a major one for me as it is directly associated with the days of tugging the forelock when the 'master' gave the 'servant' their Christmas boxes which often contained leftovers from the greedy hoors from their Christmas Day feast.

[sans pessimism]

Just read the thread and have been nodding in agreement with a lot of them.

Can't believe 'random' hasn't been mentioned.

'OMG, what a random night'
'Soooo  random!'

Major gear grinder

Agreed.

Also, I've heard chicks refer to people they've just met as 'Randomers'. f**k sake.
