Acme Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Belated holiday greetings to all our American cousins. (Why do I get strange looks when I mention that July 4th marks British Thanksgiving?) What is the next big holiday celebration where you live? With all our British pals here, I was wondering how they felt about us celebrating giving ol' George III the... well uh, benefit of our opinion of him. British Thanksgiving? Next big holiday in US is Labor Day on September 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
