Truth in advertising in England --- No more holidays by name

In America, for the most part, holidays are named so that people can know why their banks are closed and why they get their three day weekends. You have great names like
Labor Day
Memorial Day
Presidents Day
Thanksgiving Day

In England, We get
May Bank Holiday (1st Monday in May)
Spring Bank Holiday (Last Monday in May)
August Bank Holiday (Last Monday in August)
Boxing Day (December 26)

Lets not confuse people with why we are having a holiday. That would distract the people from the real reason they like these days anyhow. Free time off from work.

America Should start too. So this year lets celebrate
October Non-Bank Holiday (Oct 31)
November Bank Holiday (Third Thursday)
January Bank Holiday (Jan 1)
December Commercial Renewal Holiday (December 25)
4th of July ( Oh wait this one has already started)
and so on...

The list is not exhaustive... It is meant for illustrative purposes chances are I'll get comments suggesting more
