    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! http://www.stgeorgesday.com/voting.asp forward on to your mates...

    I have to say I'm not convinced a 3rd bank holiday in April is a great idea - I'd much prefer one in July for instance when its too hot to work anyway! But hell I'm not going to turn it down either!

    Crumpet, this counts for nothing! This email is sent around every year unsuccessfully. As if a Government ran by Scots would give a damn about ST GEORGE's day!

    We get an extra one in May JH and one in August, but you overall have one more than us. I think Rembrance Day would be a good one to have.

    Needproof - you're probably right but hey it only took a click. I'm not sure the government would pay attention when the petition does not include your name and home address anyway.

    I'd be quite happy to celebrate 3 more bank hols - one representative of each country Ireland - St Patricks, Wales - St David and Scotland - St Haggis!

    You'd be happy with 3 extra days Crumpet?

    I'd settle for about 250 + statutory!
