A great day here where it began. Always remember people died so you could have a 40 hour work week and days off.

Yeah, when I was a younger lad, my old man used to tell us kids (as we were watching the Eyewitness evening news) that that was militaries, all over the world, celebrating his birthday.

Happy Birthday and R.I.P. G.J.C.



Peace and comfort,



Michael

I believe this is also the pagan day of Belthane, if I remember correctly, with the maypole and all that:)

That would be the gaelic festival. It is held halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice which is April 30 or May 1 most years.

Maypoles are a germanic thing not gaelic.
