A common question I get asked in America - why is the day after Christmas Day called Boxing Day in the UK? (It doesn't have a name in the US - and is not a public holiday.) My only answer is - I have no idea. I think I need to look it up so that I can come up with a better response than that. I feel like it is something I should know, but I don't - a rather disappointing gap in my knowledge. But then having got a brief taste of the plethora of quiz shows in the UK, my general knowledge is sadly lacking nowadays - I blame America.
