Subject: RE: Folklore: Origins of Boxing Day
I think that the bank holidays in the UK are just that - days upon which banks and financial institutions are closed - normally Saturdays and Sundays. In the UK now banks don't open on Sundays even if they do a half day on Saturday so it is impossible to have a bank holiday on a Sunday.
