Guavanaut posted:It used to be May Day in the UK, but is now officially called 'Early May Bank Holiday' along with such inspiring national holidays as Spring Bank Holiday and Late Summer Bank Holiday, because successive governments seem to have a pathological aversion to assigning symbolism to things. They're called "bank holidays" because the British vision for society is one where banks are the only possible source of employment, right?

As far as I can remember much about the Sea Peoples point to them likely being an Aegean people of some sort. Also that the Phillistines likely originated as one of the Sea Peoples.

I know "Spring Bank Holiday" used to be Whitsun but did "Late Summer Bank Holiday" ever have meaning?

AriadneThread posted:???? Yea it wouldn't make sense anyway. Why would they be coming back into Egypt to attack in that time period? They are stated as leaving as a fairly weak people after all, and they would totally have talked up any successful anti-egypt raids. We also know that the Hebrew peoples traced themselves back to various civilizations along the Euphrates in Mesopotamia, rather than any direction out at sea, and never had a great sea power at any time. For sea stuff they usually relied on Phoenician or Phillistine ships and crew. So they wouldn't be the Sea Peoples who harassed other areas besides Egypt.

I've heard so many different explanations for who the sea peoples were that these days I just shrug and say "yeah, maybe." The problem with historical mysteries is that people can't help trying to solve them no matter how little we have to work with.

Baron Corbyn posted:I know "Spring Bank Holiday" used to be Whitsun but did "Late Summer Bank Holiday" ever have meaning? The previous public holiday was called 'August Bank Holiday'.  They could have picked a random surrounding saint, or gone the South African route and attached positive sounding words that are generally uncontroversial like Heritage Day or Youth Day (or Human Rights Day to piss off the tabloids). Of course, it is the day after a popular movable observance in many former Soviet countries, so I'd propose Coal Miner's Day.

I think part of it is that in the days before computerized accounting, you needed a day without money being moved every month or so in order to reconcile and audit the books.

Peanut President posted:If the communists are running things then isn't every day Labor Day? That or no day, since few communist states have allowed people to freely organize into workers' associations, only allowing state mandated and operated ones and severly curtailing the ability of those to actually bargain on behalf of their members (for example by pretty much outlawing strikes).

 Just going to leave this here since it seems politically loaded enough, I'm quite disappointed that so many countries haven't implemented bans for these kind of products yet. This map is from 2014 however so hopefully more countries are on board today.
