I suspect we’ll get one in 2066 for the battle of Hastings, but this one will probably be ignored.

Or any of them, in fact

Could the Welsh get St Davids day at least? (and the English St Georges)

When would it be? It would be nice to get something before Christmas, but after August bank holiday.

Always down for more holidays and this sounds like a fun historical one.

Okay, but can we at least give Cerdic of Wessex one too?

They should give all of them bank holidays. That would make for about two months off work. Preferably over June/July.

The date of Charles I’s execution was commemorated as a public holiday into the 19th century, maybe they should bring that back. Imagine the potential for merch, for starters

I want a holiday for Henry V. Owning the French has to be commemorated!

Trafalgar Day, October 21st
1. We need something between August and Christmas
2. It will annoy the French

I’m not a fan of bank holidays. They damage the economy, cause a headache with resource planning and are a royal pain when most things are shut. Would much prefer these people campaigned for a higher statutory minimum holiday entitlement so that annual leave can be staggered when people actually want to take it, instead of clamouring for arbitrary ‘forced’ days off.

I can understand the Telegraph having nostalgia for the Middle Ages.

We could have a bank holiday for Mr Blobby’s birthday, I’d be all for it. More time off please.

A man who united all the Anglo Saxon kingdoms under one banner and called it England. Basically Tommy Robinson smh

Can we just make St George’s Day a bank holiday instead?

Remember when the Labour manifesto had 4 new bank holidays? One for each nation day and the right wing press acted like it’d be the downfall of civilisation.
Meanwhile almost every other country has more than us.

Forgotten?
Hardly..
And we can’t have a bank holiday for every king or queen from our history!

I’d rather have one for the day we become a republic.
