Ooww, that must have hurt like BillyO. Keep taking the tablets and keep on keeping on, as the old Army saying goes.I was going for all 3 until I tried putting my full weight on my leg, felt like someone had wired my kneecap to the mains
****No one’s called me a ****, I’m happy :-)
Nothing to do with pugilism mate.Enjoy Boxing Day but don’t do any actual boxing! :-)
*chuckles* thank you. I did know that and was just being daft. I had that explanation drummed into me every Christmas by my Grand-Father as an example of the ‘subjugation of the serfs by the aristos’ (his words). Is it any wonder I’m such a well balanced individual!!! ;-) :-)Nothing to do with pugilism mate.
The name comes from a time when the rich used to box up gifts to give to the poor. Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants - a day when they received a special Christmas box from their masters. The servants would also go home on Boxing Day to give Christmas boxes to their families.
Sorry can’t help myself :-)
Have a brilliant day. And you too @andyhinch

Great news.Cheers mate, walking without a stick now
He was a lovely man. He was actually my step-Granddad although I didn’t think of that until many, many years later when I started to research my family tree. Logically I knew my Dad’s dad had been killed in WW1 but naïvely didn’t think of the ‘implications’. :-) He was just my lovely Grand-Pop.I think I would have got on with your grandad.
