Has this Bank holiday ,been re --named ,Margaret Thatcher Day?? or is this just a wind up...

[nicelander]

If it has, God help us all. I would have thought April 1st would be more of an appropriate day !!

[jno]

no. Some Tory is pulling your leg.

Yes today is Margaret Thatcher Day. Hardly any one is working and every where is shut.

Wait, no just a bad dream. :-)

[mickthemuppe]

It's Margaret Thatcher day in the Falklands. Should be called that in this country as well

[jno]

well, we'll soon be able to name it David Cameron Victory in Syria Day.

[hawksley]

mickthe muppe, Why?

Over my dead body !

Good idea if today is anything to go by. Beautiful day, grand kids are happy , no hazzle , no strikes, no politicians mouthing rhetorical questions, my family and neighbours have all now got jobs, my local shops are all open and the workers are all being paid extra. Just a great day, call it St Margaret's day for all I care.

[FredPuli43]

No , it is officially the Day of another saint, Saint Joseph Calasanz (not even St Joseph of Keith)

[Ric.ror]

Who cares
Ill never call it that - it just August bank holiday

[baza]

the sun shining now that is rare on a bank holiday. Who really cares what it is called.

[janbee]

If it is, it'll soon be privatised!

[mikey4444]

As we had an extra Bank Holiday here in South Wales in memory of Thatcher already this year, on April 17th, it would be greedy to ask for another one again in August !

[ToraToraTora]

there is no Thatcher day, you've been cranked over. More's the pity though I think we should make it 01/05.

[bibblebub]

nov 5th would be most appropriate

[mikey4444]

Well done bibs !
