Birthday Holidays

The petition is entitled Authorise Birthdays as an Official Bank Holiday and the explanatory notes say
"Every British citizen should be entitled to a NATIONAL Holiday to celebrate the occasion. Should your birthday land on a non working day then the previous working day should be the NATIONAL Holiday."
"
Awww, bless!! Do let's bear in mind that the major impact of this would be that employers would just start offering one fewer day of leave on new contracts ...

Some people like working on their birthdays, or at least seem to have a great deal of fun wearing silly hats and having cake and so on.

P.S. If everyone's birthday was a Bank Holiday, the Banks would never be open. And if it was a NATIONAL holiday, no one would ever be able to work. Oops.
