The UK comes second to bottom in the list of how many public holidays we get per annum. Only Holland suffers a worst fate with just 7 days to our 8. The French enjoy 11, the Germans 10-14, the Spaniards 14, and the cheeky Italians 16! Even the Icelandic get 15!
I vote all UK nations get their own saints days as public holidays. Who's with me?

Here, here, well done, we should get a bank holiday for our patron saint and maybe one for the Queens birthday too, it would up the list of public holidays in this country.

I think all great nations ought to have at least 18 bank holidays. One no more than every three weeks all spread round the year, with at least an extra week or two off round Christmas.
