    Keep it in May. I prefer having a Socialist holiday to a Nationalist one.

      No 'cancel it altogether' option? A waste of a billable day.

        WHS. Bank holidays are for permies. Scrap the lot.

          If we need to have non-billable days then they should be more spread out during the year.

            Me too, but the great thing about May Day is that it should appeal to everyone, because of his traditional roots as a spring festival.

              Does anybody care what the bank holiday represents? To most people it's just a day off (or a 20% tax for that week for us). Better to spread them out through the year.
              Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                I think there has always been a streak in the Tory party that sees this as a socialist holiday, which must be removed. That's who cares!

                Anyway, I'm no worse off for a bank holiday.

                  Later holiday is preferable.
                  Why not tie up with thanksgiving?

                  It would be good for business as the septics are closed anyway and an extra shopping day for Xmas. Not sure what excuse we could use.

                  Or we could make it 4th of July to celebrate closing our Washington tax office.

                    Better still, why not change the length of every month to have 28 days.

                      As its my birthday on St Georges Day, I vote for that.

                      It would also cheese off anyone who is not English!


                      Trafalgar Day in October - would cheese off the French & Spanish

                      Battle of Britain Day in September - annoy the Germans
