Sir.-My family and I have celebrated St George's Day for many years and will continue to do so.
As much as I would love to see St George's Day made a public holiday, I do not wish this to be on the Monday nearest to April 23 as I have to use my annual leave to make up the bank holidays. Having another one on a Monday would take up more of my allocated leave.
Perhaps the public holiday for St George's Day could be on the day itself - the 23rd - or the nearest Friday.
