Dear Dasha,

Thank you for your letter. I like your idea to come to London in spring very much. I'll come to London to meet Nikita and you.

You are asking me about British holidays. British bank holidays are public holidays. The name "bank holiday" comes from the time when banks were closed and so no trading could take place. Nowadays both terms are in use, they have basically the same meaning.

There are currently 8 permanent public holidays in England, Scotland and Wales, and 10 in Northern Ireland. Public holidays in the UK include New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Early May Bank holiday, Spring Bank holiday, Summer Bank holiday, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Banks are still closed on those days, but many shops now are open. Shops, museums and other public attractions such as historic houses and sports centres may close on certain public holidays.

Write to me soon and ask Nikita to write to me.

Bye,

Trevor
