Do It Yourself stores & garden centres are objecting to government plans to replace the May Day Bank Holiday with one either in April (St George) or October (Trafalgar).
Conservatives have always been keen to get rid of the workers special day, though to be fair we do have too many holidays at this time of year, especially when Easter is late & we have a royal wedding to boot.
But May 1 has become DIY Day, one of the most important trading days of the year for certain stores.
I think I am going to start a campaign for a national Nothing Special Day. One when you can just do what you like, whatever. No need to go out & spend money or indulge in any activity if you don’t feel like it
