Boxing Day
I sympathise with your position, but the sad truth is that 95% of British people now use 'Boxing Day' to refer invariably to 26 December. That is why my latest rewrite embraced both positions, while acknowledging what the majority viewpoint is. With the greatest of respect, those who would insist on the Wikipedia article carrying only the less popular opinion on the grounds that it's historically correct remind us of the proud parents of a majorette, watching the procession and saying scornfully "Look! They're all out of step except our Sarah!"

I can understand people saying Boxing Day can't be a Sunday because that used to be general usage. However, the anonymous poster who keeps insisting that when 26 December is a Saturday, Monday 28th becomes Boxing Day, is quite simply wrong. There has never been any prohibition on Boxing Day being a Saturday.

Can we please refer this to the administrators? Many thanks. Jess Cully 19:06, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
