And George himself was a Turk, apparently!

 

I do favour cancelling the May Day Bank Holiday and moving it to St George's Day.

To celebrate St George's Day I used my Norwegian phone to book a Made in China table at an Italian restaurant, which I'll drive to in my German car having watched Neighbours on my Japanese television.

and then have sex in a swedish bed ?

Don't forget that the energy used to cook the food will be provided by a french or german owned company.

I don't, I can see where you are coming from but I wouldn't cancel the May Day Bank holiday.

1.) As you know when it is (the first Monday in May- not May Day) and can plan stuff (like long weekends).

2.) Loads of other country in the world celebrates it, so if we cancelled it we would gain much by everyone being in work on that day.

3.) Plus considering it is now a holiday for workers/Labourers it defeats the object if we cancel it.

Ok, Monday nearest 23rd April fits.

Just because other countries do it doesn't mean we have to. Loads of other countries don't do a May Day bank holiday.

Oh, I'd let the workers have 23rd April off too.
