What's always irritated me is the lack of a BH in the middle of summer... I vote for a "D-Day" Day...
I agree about a BH in middle of summer. What I have never understood is why we ignore Waterloo Day, 15th June. Surely Waterloo was the decisive defeat over Napoleon? I do appreciate the maritime connection for yacht clubs to celebrate Trafalgar but Wellington had more sense to fight his battle in summertime, didn't he?
As for upsetting the French I thought we did a better job of that when Sarkozy last visited us. He arrived at Waterloo station and was driven through Trafalgar Square to admire Nelson's Column. It was just a pity we did not have anywhere celebrating Agincourt on his way to Buckingham Palace!
