Excellent! When I lived in Nigeria, it was normal to carry over public holidays and religious festivals to a working day, which we loved but the employers didn't. IIRC in one week we only had a single working day due to Easter and the end of Ramadan falling within a few days of each other :).

That was a good points' we'll made. Many a wargmers beard will have twitched over mis-placed post-trohpies and not good grammer.
Education is important; Beer is importanter.

Beer is the most imported thing in my life!
