...However, those holidays that are fixed in the calendar have a good social role to play as it makes it much easier to arrange to get people together when the majority of people are given the same day off.
Totally understand, however, anyone who has to work shifts that cover 24/7 (doctors, nurses, paramedics, police officers, armed forces and many more besides) do not fit into this.
I find that since the removal of the majority of restrictions on Sundays (e.g. shopping) were introduced in the UK that it is difficult to get a group together anyway.
