THIS IS A CAUSE WELL WORTH SUPPORTING; PLEASE VOTE IT TAKES ONLY ONE PUSH OF A BUTTON FOR A WHOLE DAY OFF WORK!!

We have a real chance to make April 23rd, our nations day a bank holiday. If you are in agreement then please vote and also please send this to as many people as possible as it's all about numbers.

There is a chance the public can make St Georges Day a public holiday (After this year) Click on the link below to vote, the site needs at least 500,000 votes for the government to take it seriously and give us another holiday, and I know you are up for that!

Nothing against St George's Day, but if we are to have an extra bank holiday wouldn't one somewhere between August bank holiday and Christmas be better? After all that's a fair few days without a break.

This year Easter falls at the beginning of April, and there are two further bank holidays in May... why group them all a quarter of the way into the year?

I used to love the idea of this but the older i get the more I think we have nothing to celebrate.

Still... another day off would be nice - but maybe we need a new patron saint - any nominations?

St. Patrick, at least he was actually British.
