I'd rather have a holiday in the summer when the sun is shining.

Maybe you could find a new saint for us the Cyril? I agree a mid july one would be nice.

Appropriately for our current predicament, St. Lazarus' Day is on 29 July. We could go for that one.

Now excuse me while I re-dress my stigmata.

We already have a load of bank holidays around this time with Easter and May Days etc... I would rather have one to fill the gap between late August and Christmas. How about one to mark the end of British Summer Time (around end October), or one for 11 November.

I agree. Good sentiment behind April 23rd (plus it is Shakespeare's birthday), but we've got plenty of holidays around that time.

July 25th is my saint's day (St James the Greater). Let's do that one.

Not to mention all the 'puentes' you have when a holiday falls on a Tuesday or a Thursday. Lazy/lucky sods. ;)

Wasn't there rumours they were trying to bring in a Trafalgar Day holiday, whenever that exactly is, as this fitted the bill as it fell between August & Christmas. The SNP are still trying to get 30 Nov (St Andrews Day) up here marked as a national holiday.

Are all the Taffs off today then?

 

[C C Csiders]

Trafalgar Day holiday, whenever that exactly is

21 October

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

21 October

That would be handy as I normally take off a day around that time for the Mrs birthday!

My wife's birthday too!

Don't tell me, she's indecisive despite being at times rather single-minded........

[Shrimper93]

I say yes. I work in an industry that is 364 (365 leap year) Christmas day is the only day we close, so an extra day off will go on my holiday entitlemnet.
