We'd have all our Bank Holidays in a few weeks and have nowt to look forward to until August. Don't know when the Battle of the Nile was but we could have a "The Boy Stood On The Burning Deck Day" just to piss the French off!!
A bank holiday dedicated to beating the **** out of adrian durham, live on radio... it may be challenging to repeat every year, as he'd most likely be dead after the first trial, but I'm sure another of his ilk could be easily sought for some good old-fashioned, medieval entertainment.
