Or before bed time

In the US we call it a vacation, a holiday is a day off for something like 4th of July or Memorial day.

Before bed though makes you feel like your going to throw up everything you ate earlier. And in the morning if it's before breakfast, it's like wasting your body away. And after breakfast there wouldn't be enough time Ah the annoying life!

Yes, life is complicated

bleh

So in the US, I would get my birthday off?

(Yes, I have to share my birthday with America *sigh* )

That's cause you Americans insisted on changing everything you could after the fourth of July just because you could.

If I had a time machine I swear I'd go back in time and start a rumour just before the declaration of independance that the British were going to ban American men from wearing pink dresses and boots together just for the sheer hilarity of watching July 4th parades.

you might not want to screw around with history

*looks at own outfit*

oh dear....

Though nowadays holidays have lapsed into oppertunities to sell things to people. More meaning is put into what you can buy at special prices than at the reason for the holiday, etc.

Well, the big retail merchants sure do, but us workin guys just see it as a paid day off.

Bush ain't bright enough. Gordon Brown is the real dictator here!

Nah. It's just we're tired of American's forgetting that the last war between us was a draw at best.

I gotta admit, you Brits have a great accent!
