Default May Bank Holiday
Well, as usual, we have been blessed with nice sunny warm weather on this may bank holiday. What are you up to?

I'm here studying, looking out the window and wishing I could be out there, on the river, having fun, like everyone else seems to be!!

Cheer me up with tales of beaches and alcohol, before I go crazy!

Matt

I had an exam. On a bank holiday. Surely that's illegal? (exam went well though, if you were wondering)

As a U.S. person, I don't really understand "bank holidays." Here, the holidays are (in theory) *for* something. Like, today was Memorial Day. Every day that you might consider a "bank holiday" has a name and is for something.

Are yours like that at all? Or are they just misc days off, not "for" anything?

A bank holiday is any of several days designated as holidays by the Bank Holidays Act of 1871 and a supplementary act of 1875 for all the banks in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. Although these days are not statutory public holiday's, their observance is no longer limited to banks. In fact it is against the law for a bank to open on a bank holiday. Before 1830 the Bank of England closed on approximately 40 saints days and anniversaries, but in that year the number was reduced to 18 days. In 1834 they were further reduced to four: Good Friday, May 1, November 1, and Christmas Day. By the act of 1871, the following were constituted bank holidays in England, Wales, and Ireland: Easter Monday; Whit Monday, the first Monday of August; December 26 if a weekday; and, by the act of 1875, December 27 when December 26 falls on a Sunday (i.e., the first weekday after Christmas; Boxing Day). The Bank Holiday (Ireland) Act of 1903 designated March 17, St. Patrick's Day (or, if on a Sunday, the following Monday), as a bank holiday for Ireland. In England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, Christmas Day and Good Friday are bank holidays under common law. In Scotland, New Year's Day and the day after, Christmas Day (or, if these days fall on Sunday, the following Mondays), Good Friday, Labour Day (May 1), and the first Monday of August are bank holidays. The act of 1871 also made it lawful for any day to be officially proclaimed a bank holiday in the United Kingdom. In the 1980s the list for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland included New Year's Day, or the first Monday in January if January 1 falls on a Saturday or Sunday; Good Friday; Easter Monday; May 1 (Labour Day), or the first Monday in May if May 1 falls on a Saturday or Sunday; the last Monday in May; the last Monday in August; Christmas Day; and Boxing Day.

so the moral of the story is that we had less holidays than you, and so decided to observe the bank's holiday as our own!! You guys have a lot more patriotism incoorporated into your year (president's day, fourth of july, memorial day as well as remembrance day, columbus day, etc, etc)

I went to Catford to look for a new fish, and they only had four coldwater ones in the shop.

FOUR!!

I ask you, what's the point, huh?
