May Day is the first Monday in May and today is May Day. Did you know that the first May Day in Britain was relatively recently in 1978 and that it actually celebrates communism?

Check out this article about it which contains a video clip of news reporting of the time.

Odd how some associate it with USSR and tanks, think it was just brought about as I believe we were short on Bank Holidays (Not sure who compared to) and the Labour Government chose May. People often make connections about things that were coincidental or for different reasons.

June might have been better.
