So, we’re going to get another, much-needed Bank Holiday to celebrate Britishness. Personally, I’d nominate the anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar on the 21st of October. It would break up that long stretch from the last August Bank Holiday to Christmas and celebrates the victory that ensured Britain retained dominance of the seas and thus her independence. What do you think?
