Closed petition To make Shrove Tuesday "Pancake Day" a national holiday in England and Wales

We call on the Government to make Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day, a national holiday. We are concerned that we are beginning to lose some of its traditions and celebrations. We believe Pancake Day is a great day and perfect for a public holiday.
