I used to fly large petrol aircraft ( radio control) - my ex wrapped a big box and left it under the tree. All December I looked forward to what I'd convinced myself was a large 4 stroke. Imagine my joy when I opened said present - only to find a wok. Bah humbug....
My father once gave me an axe . Giftwrapped and all , to go with the 5 ton of elm rings that had just been delivered . The elm rings weren't giftwrapped !
