M***x Australia closed Monday June 11th, for Queen’s birthday

This is the subject of the first e-mail I’ve received this morning. Its body was a simple “Happy Birthday!” :-)

Hereafter, a Brit’s stupefied answer:
“As a Brit (and an anti-monarchist) I feel honour bound to point out that we in Britain don’t have a day’s holiday for the Queen’s birthday I’d’ have thought that having gained independance from our shabby little island you’d’ have scrapped such archaic notions. The U.S. aren’t so old fashioned to have such a day. The French have “Guillotine day” or something similar, much more fun although a little messy. If you need foreign excuses for days off why don’t you steal that instead?”
