Well, of course we have Christmas Day and New Years Day. I think Boxing Day is a bank holiday and there are, I think, six throughout the year. Of course, being a carer, you only get these off if your days off that week happen to include a Monday.
We don't have any other official 'public holidays'. The Queen's birthday (April 21st) and Guy Fawkes Night (Bonfire Night; 5th November) are just ordinary days, as is the Queen's official birthday in June although that's when we have Trooping The Colour which I love watching.
Rememberance Day (Sunday closest to 11th November and there's a two-minute's silence on the day itself at 11 am too) is observed but isn't a 'holiday' either.
If you'll excuse the pride in the typeface ... Britain doesn't have an Independance Day because we may have been invaded by the Romans and the Vikings all those centuries ago but we've never been conquered.
