Thanks brl, I will add this info asap. You do have a lucky father btw, he has two Father's Days ;-)
Thanks SeanMac! Yes, things seem to vary greatly on our site of the pond ;-) Father's Day is huge in Germany, but in the UK you barely notice it, similar to what you wrote about Ireland ;-)
It never really caught on here in Ireland, at least not to the extent of Mother's Day. Nice article!
