We have to wait until Christmas.  Compared to you guys, we get very few holidays in fact (do you get May day?).

He he, yes! Four days off! And I feel, erm, completely exhausted...


There's no way that the U.S. has more holiday time than any nation in the EU, yes-no?

Well, today was Lady Day in the UK.  All the girly Ladies are allowed to take the day off, but the law is that no men are.  So only Ladies had the day off.  Hence the name... Lady Day.


Did any of the Bored Board Ladies take the day off?

Yup.


The 1823 Lady Day Bill was passed because it was felt that women were physically inferior to men and required a day off to gather their strength and find themselves and other girly stuff - remember that in those days, people didn't get holidays - they worked 7 days a week with Sunday morning off for church.


So the law was passed that Ladies could take the last Monday in November off, but the wording of the bill actually precludes any men taking the day off.  Since the bill has never been repealed, it remains a criminal offence for men to take the day off, although I can't imagine that anyone would get arrested for it in this day and age.


In conclusion, I postulate that anyone who took that day off must therefore be a Lady?


Anyone else off yesterday?

But if we celebrate them both then you guys have two days per year where you're permitted, nay, encouraged to appreciate what's on offer...
