Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 1)

Why Monday? is it a different holiday in the UK than in the rest of Europe. Tomorrow there is the unusual situation that there are two holidays - first of May is "Tag der Arbeit" (Labour day?) and Ascension, which is usually later in the year.

Re: Wednesday Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

all of our public holidays are set to be "first monday after" apart from Christmas new year and good Friday so they turn into long weekends

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

The Ascension Day/Whit holiday is also moved to the last Monday in May, regardless of when it actually falls.
