After the queens speech. Really. If ever I were to have a reason for wanting the uk to become a republic, this is it.
It’s not so bad as an adult, but as an excited child, water boarding would have been preferable.
(The rule was that presents from Santa could be opened at 8am, then presents from family and friends at 3.15. But Santa stops coming when you turn 18, I’m reliably informed, so it’s a dull morning for me. Again not so bad now all my siblings are now also over 18, but watching them tear through Santas gifts with me having to wait was crap. Esp as my youngest sister is 10 years my junior)
Of course, if I ever sire children, they will be subjected to the same experience. I suspect this is the reason my parents (well, the mother) did it to me.
