Father's day
I have just had a panic :scared: after realising that Father's day in the UK is almost upon us (June 19th).

Re: Father's day
Why don't you just tell your folks, that as you are in Australia, you'll be celebrating Fathers and Mothers Day on the Oz dates. That way they get to have 2 days, the UK one and the Oz one!!
(Well, thats how I sold it to my folks
)

Father's Day in UK - 3rd Sunday in June, so 19th June this year.
Father's Day in Oz - 1st Sunday in September, so 4th September this year.
