It's a holiday here..a long weekend.... May Day... the actual holiday is on the 4th which is Monday so schools and businesses will be closed, and stores will have Sunday opening

Here’s something I just found out today.

On average, respondents thought that if the U.K. were a state, it would be the seventh-richest in terms of percapita GDP, behind the likes of New York and California. The reality is that Britain is toward the bottom of the table, roughly on the level of Mississippi.

Do they have parades for it, Holly?

No..I wish... I wish we were more like the USA in that respect....

When my DD was little she was a majorette and she was involved in lots of carnival parades... but we've really not had any in 30 years.... except the annual Huge Nottinghill carnival in London... but local towns, not any more sadly...
