Мир заинтересовался и приехал Сорочинская ярмарка посмотреть.

Proposals for additional holidays 7 4.1 Parliamentary debate 8 Cover page image copyright: ‘wet deck chairs’, Ronnie Macdonald, licensed under CC BY 2.0 3 Bank and public holidays 1. Bank holidays: what and when are they? Strictly, “bank holidays” are those fixed by statute - the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971 - as days when financial dealings may be suspended. The term “bank” holiday is used interchangeably with “public” holiday. For all practical purposes there is no difference. There is, however, an academic difference between bank holidays derived from statute and public holidays at common law (such as Christmas Day in England and Wales). Schedule 1 of the Act stipulates those days which are to be bank holidays in England and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland: In England and Wales: • Easter Monday • The last Monday in May • The last Monday in August • 26th December, if it be not a Sunday • 27th December in a year in which 25th or 26th December is a Sunday In Scotland: • New Year's Day, if it be not a Sunday or, if it be a
