Default midsummers day - definitive????

Look everyone...we need to clear up one or two points here.

(1) 21st June is the Summer Solstice, which to most people is traditionally
called Midsummers Day or the 'Start of Summer' (which I think is weird, but
hey...). It is the longest day of the yesr for the northern hemisphere, and
is determined by the Earth's orbital inclination, or tilt, of 23.5 degrees.

(2) Any other traditional dates mean very little other just dates, as the
calendar has changed so many times since these traditions began.

So lets stop arguing - 21st June it is
