It’s not Bermuda Day. It’s some random Friday off.
Bermuda Day should have been on Monday.
I couldn’t agree more. Another long-standing Bermuda tradition lost.
Thank God I’m not the only one wondering why Bermuda days was yesterday. In Canada most holidays are always pushed to Monday. Friday, everyone is already taking things easy and they can have a great weekend and relax on Monday and return back for a short four days of the week. Making it Friday, makes no sense. I also think Bermuda needs to add a public holiday between New Year and Good Friday. God Bless Bermuda +
Bermuda Day is on the 24th not the 29th! You can’t just change history like that. Smh so stupid
