So, the big wigs at the top have been putting their thinking caps on again and have come to the conclusion that Britons no longer need the May Day Holiday and that we'd be better off moving it to another month.
Is it just me, or is there really no logic to this? Apparently, by moving the bank holiday from a Spring / Summer month to a Winter month will make more Britons holiday at home and it will also accumulate an extra £2bn in tourism cash over the next four years. All this from moving one bank holiday - no wonder we are so cash strapped and having cuts given to us left right and center.
Moving the clocks in line with European time so it's lighter longer in the evening - now that I can get the gist of and understand why that could be feasible. But honestly chaps, who are you kidding? If a foreigner wants to come to this Country, they will come. Public holidays do affect them as London life no longer comes to a standstill on bank holidays - tourism carries on and just about every shop is still open.
I reckon I have a much brighter option for you - instead of moving May Day, why not just give us an extra day in October? All business men have Blackberry's now, so the trade sector would still carry on regardless as most people at the top are work-a-holics. Plus, the menial members of firms will be going out making the most of their new bank holiday and spending money into the economy, thus boosting your profits and giving you an extra shot of Brandy at Christmas.
What do you reckon guys and girls, will this catch on? You never know, if they're hoping to go all out and become more in line with the Europeans, maybe they could also introduce having the whole month of August off like the EU does and we might even be able to blag a siesta too.......here's hoping!
