Dear All
Please read this as it is important
Number 10 Downing Street has approved a petition that was launched
requesting a new public holiday falling on the Monday after Remembrance
Sunday in November each year. To be known as the National Remembrance
Holiday, it's got three aims:
1. To emphasise the remembrance of those servicemen and women who have
given, and continue to give, their lives for Britain
2. To remind people of the importance of protecting our Nation and what it
stands for;
3. To break that 3 month period between the August Public Holiday and
Christmas when there are currently no long weekends, especially as the
UK has fewer public holidays than most European Countries.
If you agree to the idea, please sign up to the petition - it doesn't take
long - and it would be great if you were to forward the link to other
people as well. If you are not interested, just hit the delete key. This
is not just about another bank holiday, but more importantly about having
a designated day to remember all those people that sacrificed their lives
for our freedom.

THIS IS A NOTABLE PETITION THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAVE ASKED FOR PLEASE SIGN
IF YOU WANT AN EXTRA BANK HOLIDAY.

Signed previously, but do you think it will have any effect on whether we get an extra day or not?

It is obvious that the government are only going to allow the extra bank holiday once in every four years. It appears it will be on February 29th This year and then every four years. Get an extra bottle of Pussers ordered for this day Les...
