Answer a question with a question?

The point is in UK we get Easter Monday off but they don't appear to in the States.

The brain you are means you have a view.

What about in Toronto?

Good Friday is a public holiday in Toronto. My father thinks the British and French are heathens for working on Good Friday and taking Easter Monday off. :wink:

Yeah, in Cromwell's time they did not take kindly to that sort of thing.

Is digging weeds code for "assassinations"?
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

And that has made all the difference.

That would be cheesy. I quoted "Footprints in the Sand."
