Holidays I wouldn’t mind a few. Anyways who won’t like to have a day off. Well one such holiday is called “ banking holiday”. Banking holidays were first established by the Bank Holidays Act of 1871, Thanks to which Northern Ireland, England and Wales , got four days off and similarly Scotland got five days off. These were Easter Monday, the first Monday in August, the 26th December, and Whit Monday (England, Wales and Northern Ireland) and New Year's Day, Good Friday, the opening Monday (May), the opening Monday (August), and Christmas Day (Scotland). In England, Northern Ireland , and Wales , both Northern Ireland and Christmas Day were conventional days of respite and Christian reverence (usually Sundays) and did not require to be incorporated in the proceed.
These holidays were awarded thanks to a great personality, the one and only Sir John Lubbock. He wasn’t just a banker, he was a politician, naturalist, archeologist, as well as the first president of the institute of bankers. The most influential archaeological text book of the 19th Century was published by none other than Sir John Lubbock himself.
The provisions of the 1871 act were included into the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971.
And it is still the basis for banking holidays.
The legal device proclaims banking holidays every year. Other than that its duties include scheduling the banking holidays such that they don’t fall on a weekend. This is done in order to avoid holidays being lost, as they were falling on dates that were weekends. These banking holidays are termed as “substitute days” in the legislation.
Scotland has a few rules of its own, which are somewhat different to the remaining part of the UK. Surprisingly Easter Monday is not a banking holiday. Another difference is that Summer Bank Holiday is the preceding Monday in UK, where as it is the first Monday in Scotland, even thigh the name of the holiday is the same.
As is with Scotland, Ireland also has some different banking holidays. In fact in Ireland the term “banking holiday” isn’t used so frequently.
Surprising as it is while others celebrate Good Friday, the Irish don’t take the day off , even though banks and other institutes are closed. As in Scotland summer bank holiday is the foremost Monday in August. Another strange fact June Bank Holiday replaces of the Spring Bank Holiday. National Days in the Republic include Easter Monday and St Patrick's Day.
