Margaret, ya' daft bat Having said that 'many a true word spoken in jest'eh?

Expat: Have always thought this about sending a card to Mum for thanking her for your presence on this Earth.
Yes, some companies do give their employees a day off for their birthday; my son included. American owned, which surprises me, as they are usually tight with holidays. Only Christmas day and New Year's day (well, in the American branches).. no boxing day, etc.

I, myself, love to be at work on my birthday to receive all the sexy, dirty cards my younger colleagues like to give me .. better than the age things.
