Do they have Black Friday in the UK?  ;D
It's the official day that starts the holiday shopping season.

They have the Queen's Birthday, Guy Fawkes Day, Bank Holiday Monday, and Shrove Tuesday.  It's all fucked up over there.

I only heard of it from a Red Dwarf sketch.  Can't find the vid on YouTube but Rimmer is complaining how arbitrary it is to ask for help by saying "May Day" & he starts radioing, "Christmas Day!  Boxing Day! Shrove Tuesday!" 

Lister: "It's French ya pillock!"

Same as Fat Tuesday/ Pancake Day/ Mardi Gras, apparently, & your people seem to favor something called a "festy cock" of all things.  I'm not going any further with that one.
