Bank Holiday

[Tabouli]

Ah!  Good!  At last, the opportunity to ask one of those plaguing questions you never remember at the right time... what on earth is the UK "Bank Holiday" in aid of?  Something to do with banks as in money?  I read about the Bank Holiday endlessly as a child in my Pony Club books (any fellow readers thereof prepared to come out of the closet?), but I never knew what it was *for*.

Tabouli.
