A simple answer to please everyone bar the Condems and leaders of indstry. In the UK we are short of public holidays in comparison with most of Europe. I Cameron et al wish to boost the tourist industry in October - give us a new holiday then
How it will improve tourism from abroad I can't quite follow few tourists will be aware of the dates of UK public hols and if so should avoid them like the plague - reduced rail, bus, etc services, roads clogged with traffic, rail and road works under way,need I go on.
