Early May Bank Holiday

I must be thick.
I've only just discovered this today.
Bank Holiday May 4th is to be shifted to Friday 8th in 2020 to commemorate VE Day.

Re: Early May Bank Holiday

You are not alone as it seems some of those who print calendars did not know either. There will I expect be some very unhappy retailers as there will be no compensation for them, the Government has said. An expensive error and nothing to do with them as the change was only announced in June.

"Retailers including WHSmith, Clintons and Paperchase have admitted to having aisles full of incorrect calendars. The Government has said it will not provide compensation to companies who have reprinted calendars.

That is despite the change only being announced in June. Bank holidays have been used to mark special occasions in the past, however."

I'm not sure what day it is today, let alone in May. No day off for Star Wars fans then.

Hmm ... I suppose it would have been too much to ask for an extra Bank Holiday instead of nicking the regular one to do with fertility dancing around phallic symbols.
