Why might it be ?

[ichkeria]

No - in the USA it is though.

[anneasquith]

thank you i have a friend in England who is ill,( very confused ) and she assured me it was a public holiday tomorrow, i didn't think it was,

[sandyRoe]

Would there be a holiday so close to Halloween? Isn't there one then?

[rockyracoon]

Wish it was, I'm knackered and could do with a lazy day.

[Jeza]

Don't think it's a holiday in the U S but it is in Canada. Not in England though.

[rockyracoon]

Sandy, do you get a halloween holiday in NI the same as down south? We don't over here, our next bank holiday is Xmas day.

[DTCwordfan]

Indeed it is. Minor Catholic public schools celebrate St Bernardino's Day, the day of sodomy. He was also one of the patron saints of Germany.....useless information on tap here.

[ichkeria]

Definitely a holiday in the US (Columbus Day) - though will anyone notice the difference or has all that stopped now :-)
In Ireland Hallowe'en as such is not a holiday in the south and definitely not in the North

[Prudie]

It's Thanksgiving in Canada tomorrow

[dzug2]

There be areas in the UK when it's half term - bit early though

No,but a lot of the schools are shut thursday for strike. Is she getting confused?

[sandyRoe]

Rockyracoon, there is a Halloween holiday for schools here. Would it be called mid term break in the rest of UK?

[rockyracoon]

Sandy, our schools will have a half term week around that time, a lot of schools will break up on Fri 25th Oct. In the South, I understand they get a bank holiday on the last Monday of Oct, our family in Dub always call it Halloween bank holiday.
