Closed Make bank holidays for St George's Day in England and St David's Day in Wales

Closed on

I think that these days should be bank holidays in England for St George's Day and Wales for St David's Day, to give children and workers the day off in order to socialise and celebrate these days.

Scotland and Northern Ireland have a bank holiday for their patron saints. I think that this would encourage traditionalism and nationalism for all the countries in the United Kingdom.
