But feel free to opine on when the public decide to commemorate and celebrate a major event!

I suggest that you might turn your attention to the U.K. calendar, where King's birthday, Jesus' resurrection, Easter, and other bank holidays are conveniently shifted around for public convenience!

Fridays and Mondays are usually optimum days for most!

Good luck! 

   I suggest that you throw away your copy of the 2015 Houston Independent School District Calendar and their version of Texas history which you seem to rely on, as it does not seem to help you with British history, calendars or religions.

  In England the only 'moveable feasts' are  Good Friday and Easter Sunday. 

New Year’s Day - fixed or next working day.

Good Friday - religious.

Easter Monday- religious.

Early May bank holiday-the first Monday of the month each year.

Spring bank holiday-the last Monday of May each year.

Summer bank holiday the last Monday of August each year.

Christmas Day -fixed or next working day.

Boxing Day -fixed or next working day. 

   The other days you mention are not Public Holidays:  

 Being a monarch in the UK allows you to have two birthday- a British tradition since 1748. His birthday is always  November15th and his official birthday is always a Saturday and neither are public holidays in the UK.    

The day of the resurrection could be two or three days after his committal -depending on you religion  of choice and in any case has never been a Bank Holiday in the UK.

Whit was never been a Bank Holiday in the UK and the Whit Monday public holiday was removed decades ago.

I love the line...... " This is a game for extraordinary women, a stage for extraordinary women, a tournament for extraordinary women. But never forget that it is a world still run by mediocre men."

 

 

Even though the winning coach who's tactics won the world cup is a MAN!!!!

 

 

Their bitterness is a joy to behold.

 

Dry your eyes Guardian!!!

Fixed. or next working day? Can't have it both ways 

 

All on different calendar days!

 

Hard to know when Easter is without checking a calendar for the specific year.

 

"According to the Farmer’s Almanac, Easter’s date is determined by the Paschal full moon, which is the first full moon after the spring equinox. Easter falls on the Sunday immediately following the Paschal full moon. If the Paschal full moon falls on a Sunday, then Easter is the next Sunday.

This means Easter’s exact date can range over the course of more than a month".

 

Stop being so parsimonious and persnickety!   

 

Let the folks decide when they wish to celebrate an occasion. In my family we celebrate several events at the same time on a nearest Saturday, when it's convenient for everybody to attend!

@trastrick

So you got it all wrong and object to being corrected.

If you had checked what a moveable feast and other detailsthat could all have been avoided.

Hope you enjoy your pancakes on the nearest Saturday to Shrove Tuesday.

Lol

   Yes let the folk decide- we have, and decided that Public holidays in England are on weekdays nearest weekends with the exception of Xmas  and yes we do have it both ways in this country as when Xmas and Boxing Day fall on weekends we have Public Holidays 'in lieu'. Easter won't change its wandering habits anytime soon unfortunately.

  Another great British tradition we have here is the 'Bank Holiday Weekend' or 'Bank Holiday Monday' which allows many families and friends to enjoy themselves. If, like you, they set aside a date for a gathering those who have to, can take annual leave or not.

   In Sheffield and in particular the big works working 15+shifts, Easter weekend was often ignored, with the Public holidays transferred to Spring Bank week. Similarly town and cities across the country used to synch their annual holidays. 

   Historically England(8) has one of the smallest number of Public Holidays and with the move toward a 24/7 economy not likely to change. I don't think we in this country will be using your 2015 US  Houston Independent School District to organise our holidays, or your Dominican or Canadian. How many more than us do you have? How many more are mid week?

Good Friday was always a working day in the Sheffield steelworks and a day in lieu taken on the following Tuesday.

This was to avoid having disruption over 2 weeks rather than one as regards firing up and closing down preheating furnaces.

Stealing is hard to justify when small business is involved, obviously it's kinda ok if it's a huge store though.... according to this wet wipe.

 

And remember, when those vermin are looting mob handed, it's because they suffering with economic problems not because they want a new pair of Nike and a flat screen. If that were the case then why don't they steal food you complete moron.!!

 

Automation is the reason for lawlessness apparently.

 

Always something or someone else fault rather than the parasites who commit these awful crimes.

 

Typical liberal wet wipe.
