Just in case you haven't seen it.


Done, thanks Bob. I also signed up to the petition on the EU referendum!

Nov 11 is a public holiday in Canada but its observance varies. Some
shops (but not all) are closed until noon and many large companies allow
their employees to transfer the day off to the xmas/NY period.

Just going to show that it is treated as 'another public holiday' and the
idea of what it's about forgotten in the midst of time. I won't sign the
petition. What I would sign is that 'everything' shuts down at 11.00 on the
11th of November for 2 minutes. 2 Minutes for people to 'really' remember.

Kind regards

Mike
