[Drinking] This extra 4 public holidays pledge thing

[Tokyohands]

Trafalgar Day,Waterloo Day,VE Day,VJ Day.That would upset the Spanish,French,Germans,and Japanese,who else can we annoy?

An Oliver Cromwell day would kill a few birds with one stone.

Unless you're the employer who has to foot the bill

I wouldn’t worry about them.

If that extra day’s holiday is paid, then aren’t you effectively getting ‘double time’ for working the BH? This is on the assumption that if you chose not to work it, you’d not be paid for the BH as holiday normally?

Good point! Yes.

King Eric of Cantona Day would be a great day to raise a glass.

Jeremy Corbyn is an atheist. He does not believe in God, never mind Sainthood, yet he promises a largely atheist country that it can have Saint George's Day as a Bank Holiday. Is this an attempt to make Catholicism (since only Catholics honour the Saints, and we do it daily) "for the many, not the few"?

Trouble is, they are all in March, April and late November when the weather is likely to be foul. Better to find an excuse to have less days but in June, July or early August...
