Today is National Apple Turnover day…..yes really!
There seems to be a National Day for everything, it’s just marketing.
I think we should scrap all these ridiculous days and have fewer more meaningful ones.

Blossoming - I’ve just seen it’s World Chocolate Day today on another thread. I might just have to support WCD in some small way.

I think England should have St George's Day as a national holiday

Saint George wasn’t even English or a real person was he? Why celebrate him? Might as well have Basil Brush Day.

One day last week was apparently International Lipstick Day recently. Who'd have thought that was a thing?

I have these days categorised in my head under 'foolish but fun'. Who cares? Regard or disregard at will. If they bring a smile then that's a bonus methinks.

We don't have any of those days. Must be a British thing.

I was thinking they must be American because I haven’t heard of most of them.

I must have missed it. We were in SA last week. Hadn’t heard of any but there was a day when everyone had headlights on and apparently it was for the firefighters which is fine by me, at least that was a worthwhile cause.
