I completely forgot it was a holiday today until my friends reminded me on the way to the bar last night. This seems to happen on every puplic holiday.

You should read the news and find out that students currently get the last Saturday of every month off in preparation for the phasing out of Saturday school that is happening next year.

It will be interesting to see the effect this has on hogwans. Will more of them go to offering Saturday programmes?

Undoubtably. That little chunk of the kids free-time will rapidly be filled with something educational.

In the interests of accuracy, next year brings the 2nd & 4th saturdays off.
