I don't know how it is in the UK but in Sweden we have tons of holidays but they don't have a practical purpose anymore as many people work those days anyway (in one way or another) and the shops are all open. It is just confusing - sometimes something you need just isn't there because it is a "holiday", and you haven't noticed anything because everything save for that detail is exactly as any other day... I think that system belongs to another time before pitch-black capitalism conquered everything. Only in affluent Norway they can afford to maintain it - there, the shops are all closed even Sundays! Like a dead city! First time I saw it I thought they were shooting an post-apocalypse move... -- underground experts united
