The Queen's Christmas Broadcast

[pogofish]

Not watched it for years, probably not since my Gran died.

Heard it on the morning radio transmission occasionally.

No.

It was said at a dinner at the Guildhall in November 1992 - https://www.royal.uk/annus-horribilis-speech - which is the time I saw in the documentary that was on telly yesterday.
She might also have said it at Christmas, though.

No, you're right, it was just that speech. She referenced it in her Christmas day speech, but only tangentially.

Part of our Christmas tradition growing up was that the TV did not get switched on on Christmas Day, so no. Never felt the need to watch it as an adult either.

What happened to the "I'm too pissed up by that time to care" option?

When my mum was alive she used to time Christmas lunch so it was more or less over in time for the Queen's Speech. Most of the family would watch it but I can't say I always paid attention.

My brother and his girlfriend make a point of switching on the TV specifically to watch the speech. So, if I'm with them I watch it but otherwise I wouldn't bother.
