Happy Boxing Day fellow GN's.
Although I'm still in recovery following my "no twiglets" Christmas, I have managed to mop my brow and lift my troubled head to see what's been happening.
Let me first make it clear that this thread isn't about whether we need or don't need a monarchy - it is more a lighhearted look at a tradition we see every year and what you think about it. So no arguments please 
.
Looking at the pictures of the Royal Family on their walkabout after church yesterday, I wondered what on earth motivates someone to give a future King and member of one of the richest families on the planet a Cadbury's selection box? Or ply the children with sweets and cuddly toys and whatever.
Is it merely loyalty to the Crown? I know I wouldn't and I have no problem with the Royals whatsoever.
Has anyone on here waited in the cold to catch a glimpse or get a handshake and given them a gift? And if you have, why?
