Poll: Should the May Day bank holiday be moved?
On Monday, thousands of people across the Midlands will enjoy a much-needed day off work as we mark the May Day bank holiday.
Have your say in our poll and in the comment box below:
It is 40 years since the first May Day break, introduced by Jim Callaghan's government in 1978 to mark International Workers Day, but is it time to move it to another day?
Governments have considered this in the past, arguing that four of the UK's eight bank holidays are squeezed into a few weeks from Easter to Whitsun. Some have also voiced opposition to the political connotations associated with May Day.
But what do you think? Should the May Day bank holiday be moved to, say St George's Day?
