Actually, that's the problem - there really aren't any clear-cut candidates to choose from. Britain hasn't really been occupied or otherwise taken over since 1066 - and it would be kinda weird to celebrate the date of an invasion as your independence day.Death said:TTBOMK, while there are quite a few uniquely British holidays, there isn't an equivalent of July 4th. Which would be kinda difficult to do anyway, as there's any number of dates to pick.
Same here. Canada Day leaves me cold, but I respect our fellow Canadians (and Québécois) who feel like celebrating it.Marc said:Besides, I'm a French-Canadian. That means I REALLY go to party mode on June 24th (Saint-Jean-Baptiste day).
