Agreed though why the Monday after remembrance Sunday? Should it not be the 11th Day of the 11th month. Oh sorry that'll move about and may even be on a Saturday or Sunday thus wouldn't give the paper pushers and wage slaves a long weekend. Well tough, perhaps it would remind people better what such a holiday is all about.

Frankly, although a huge number of people died in WW1, it's a long time ago now and the date is largely irrelevant - it wasn't even really an end to the war, as such. Many more people have died in may more conflicts since. SignatureAustin Shackles. www.ddol-las.net my opinions are just that Travel The Galaxy!

Very true, and in WW I we lost proportionally more than any since.

But is was the one that triggered off Remberance and 11/11 can be "inconvient" in that it won't normally provide a long week end and sometimes won't even give an extra days skive for the M-F 9-5 wage slaves, aw shame. It is this "inconvience" that makes using 11/11 better IMHO as it makes people ask: Why? Not just now but years into the future.

Many more people have died in may more conflicts since. It's still within living memory for some and their immediate families - which is what I go by. But I agree with your sentiment - it has to pass into history at some stage.

I don't see what bank holidays have to do with remembrance? All thats going to happen is that a proportion of the population will treat it as a holiday whilst expecting others to work so that they can enjoy themselves. You either remember or your don't, a bank holiday won't do anything to alter this ;( >one for lee D... > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/remembermonday/ But I've been taking my birthday as a holiday for years - lots of years actually.
