    I know this is a UK thread but I think it applies to every country that has holidays. And I'm going with super bowl Sunday (to be observed on Monday to work off hangovers and depression if your team lost.

    if anything i would eliminate bank holidays. they're just normal days except a few important services (like banks, or mail delivery, or garbage pickup) are unavailable.

    Well, a lot of people get a day off work...

    Hence the great British tradition of taking MDMA on the preceding Friday.

    I don't get the day off unless it's on a Thursday or Friday but I get 2 hours off a day all that week.

    i suppose a lot of people do work in banks, post offices, and garbage trucks, but it's still a pretty small percentage of the population.

    i don't know, maybe in the UK regular people get days off too.

    TBH, I'm not sure I know anyone personally who goes to work on a bank holiday (except probably some NHS staff). Maybe it's a UK thing. (I also don't know any bankers, binmen or postmen.)

    They're something like living museum exhibits. A relic of the feudal system. A lot of people like them though - not much popular will to get rid of them.

    JUNE 1 - teeth fixing day (UK dentists offer discounts to bad teeth Brits who could use a good jolt of lidocaine)

    (don't even talk to me about NHS dentistry)

    The Monarch is the Head of State but has virtually no executive power - mainly moral suasion and 65 years of smart, savvy political experience. If you abolish so-called 'Monarch's Day' you have to abolish President's Day. Are you willing to do that?
