Bank Holiday on November 1

[Janista]

Apparently a new bank holiday is being planned for Nov 1 , first to let Brexit day 2019 be a day when all can re-set and get used to the new way of doing things.

But secondly it's a great new day - perhaps it can become an annual tradition - celebrated as the UK's new Independence Day! Champagne 🍾 🇬🇧

I think they need to "celebrate" with good old fashioned and appropriate tripe .

World Tripe Day is a week too early though : it's apparently held on 24 October because in 1662 Samuel Pepys wrote on that day "So home and dined there with my wife upon a most excellent dish of tripes of my own directing."

I would have thought the 31st October would be a more suitable date as that is the actual date we are leaving. Personally, I would prefer a day in mid June.

you need the day after an event to be the holiday though - so you can enjoy recover from your hangover…

I'm genuinely interested what people will be celebrating, though. I no longer have a horse in this race so I'm just going to watch from the sidelines and see what happens.

Many may just drink to forget.
