Free Day Off Work!

We have a real chance to make April 23rd, our nations day, a bank holiday.
If you are in agreement then please vote and also please send this on to as
many people as possible as it's all about numbers.

There is a chance the public can make St Georges Day a public holiday
(After this year) Click on the link below to vote, the site needs at least
500,000 votes for the government to take it seriously and give us another
holiday, and I know you are up for that!

  • I like the idea of another day off but i don't know how viable this voting is as it looks like you can vote more than once.

    Great but I think a holiday in either Sept, Oct or Nov would be better as we tend to have lots of BH depending when Easter falls in Mar, April and May! Why can't we have a BH every month like some states in Canada?

    Note - Scottish, Welsh and Irish folk would rather have it on their respective saints days
    If I had words to make a day for you,
    I'd sing you a morning golden and new.
    I would make this day last for all time,
    Give you a night deep with moonshine.

    GREAT! I'm a Scot working for an Irish boss in an English firm in Cardiff, I'll never have to go to work again! If only I was Jewish as well I could get Fridays off too!
