Hands up all those who know what Boxing Day means, and it has nothing to do with two guys hitting each other. Sorry but there is no news, everyone resting up after Christmas I guess, so see you tomorrow.

It was the day in years gone by when well to do households would reward their faithful servants with a gift wrapped in a box. The servants themselves had a busy working day on Christmas day, cooking dinner for their employers and guests so the day after Christmas was reserved for the servants with their employers cooking them dinner and giving gifts in boxes.
Hence Boxing Day.
Well done Eddie, exactly right, it has nothing to do with returning presents.
