How many public holidays are there in Britain?
TRICKY QUESTION of the Day:
How many public holidays are there in Britain?
If you search on the internet, you may find that there are as many as 8 public holidays.

http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2005/01/bankholidays
You will also find out that Scotland - part of Britain - does not consider Easter Monday a public holiday.
Nevertheless, page 53 of the official manual says:
“There are also FOUR public holidays a year, called Bank Holidays, when legislation requires banks and most businesses to close.”
This seems to be the “expected” answer.
Good Luck!
