The King has endorsed Scotlands extra Bank Holiday this year after Scotlands men’s team World Cup game against Haiti which is being played at 2.00am UK time on 14th June which is a Sunday.

I wonder why England hasn’t got a Bank Holiday after their first game, which is mid-week (Wednesday 17th June, 21.00pm)

I guess King Charles could hardly deny that request, could he?

What about the economy? Is it a responsible decision?

It has been on ITV breakfast news this morning.

I Googled it to double check, and there it was.

Scotland has, IIRC, always differed slightly from England when it comes to Bank holidays. How are we supposed to be reacting to this one? Outrage? Envy? Indifference?

It’s celebrating Scotland qualifying after 28 years.
