Normal day off, teddy, since there are no local maypoles - and no, May Day was celebrated in this country long before the Communists hi-jacked it with their military parades.

I'm not doing much today. I'm hoping my brother will come round later though. Why a red flag?

They should move it to October or November (the public holiday, not Labour Day)

We have too many in the spring and could do with one in the depressing period.

I agree teddy, the May Day hol is a fabrication, but I don't see that it correlates with the Red Square festivals in the past, at all. As I recall "our" May Day holiday was so we could all go morris dancing, and celebrate what we used to do on May 1.

Wsnt it a day off work for the workersObviously hundreds of years ago they wouldnt have been celebrating as comrades of other workers.Employers then just wouldnt have tolerated such nonsense.Smack too much of free thinking.

I think they're planning to do that anyway, Hopkirk, but who wants a day off in winter?
