And the Tuesday for Scotland. 
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Mainly because by the time we've finished burning our D2D, there isn't any room for coal.blue1873 wrote: "COAL" ,been a long time

But I still have a coal fire and you would be more than welcome to warm yourself in front of it on New Years Eve.
Problem is - if I'm celebrating xmas with the Coptic Church on 7th Jan, when am I celebrating New Year?

If you're in Scotland its a satutory holiday so if its your day off you get one back.
If you're in England we are working so you wont.
