Celebrate St. George's Day - Friday 23rd April 2010
England lags far behind the rest of Europe in the number of bank holidays we get.
A bank holiday on Saint Georges Day would be a great opportunity for all the English (regardless of colour or religion) to recognise what binds us together - instead of concentrating on our differences.
Are you doing something special on Friday or over the Weekend?
Let us know...
I'm certainly having Friday off work!

St Georges Day - Friday 23rd April 2010
Re: St Georges Day - Friday 23rd April 2010
It all sounds like a nice idea, but the problem that I can see is that Easter is a moveable feast day and can range from the first week in April to the third, then you have May Day Bank holiday the first weekend in May. This could mean that you would have Easter Bank Holiday then St Georges Day and May Day almost in the same week. The Government would love that it would give you a week off and cover all those holidays in foul swoop.
