Wikipedia doesn't mention any September bank holiday. Neither does https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays . Both sites list Scottish bank holidays.
Nothing on https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/uk/ either.
Wow. Total mystery then.
Oh here we go.

They mention something called a "September Weekend". But last Friday was also a "September Weekend".
South Lanarkshire Council also recognises this:

Why did I work on the Friday? Well, it wasn't an actual case. Maybe Friday was a bank holiday too then. But that was in Edinburgh. This bank holiday seems to be a Glasgow thing. I should have got more money for working on a bank holiday.
Well, whatever. I never know when they are anyway. And what's the point of them? I guess there's nothing worth celebrating in UK history so they just pick random days.
I mean, in the US there's all kinds of holidays. Well, here's a managable list of federal holidays:
New Year's Day
Martin Luther King Jr Day
George Washington's Birthday
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Columbus Day
Veterans Day
Thanksgiving
Christmas Day
So...you know...they name the holidays after stuff.
Man, this went on way too long. I mostly wanted to talk about how it took me three hours to replace this mouse cord today. Everything is so tight and fiddly in there. Just make the mouse slightly bigger. This is why these cords break. You have to bend them at 90 degree angles to get it to fit in there and they get pinched between the circuit board and the case and it's just ridiculous. And these tiny screws that take 20 minutes to get in the tiny hole. And everything has to be put together in just the right order and if you mess up, you have to take it all apart again and start over.
At least it works now. Played some TF2. No problems.
Man, did 90 minutes of a transcript today. The audio was really bad for the witness. Some considerable guess work. But it's almost done. I only have 20 minutes of that shit left to do. I could have finished it all today but I figured 90 minutes is enough.
What? This fat ass who my sister used to babysit for has a reasonably-attractive girlfriend now? Oh. I see what's going on. She has two kids. And one of her kids is absolutely obese. That might be the fattest kid I've ever seen. There must be a medical reason for that. Oh yeah. He has autism too. It's all coming together. And all of her pictures are closeups of her face. So she might be a fatty too. I get it now.
They live in Texas. I think his fatass mother lives with him too. Actually, it seems that his mother lost a lot of weight.
They've only been dating since July. And she's 25? This fat kid looks at least 10.
Anyway, I think it's premature to go public with the relationship but good luck with it.
That guy could be an annoying kid, though. There was one time he kept saying "poo-pack" and pointing to his naval. Apparently, in Polish, "naval" is something like "poo-pack". But it's annoying as shit. Okay, we get it. You have a umbilical scar and in Poland they call this is a "poo-pack". I know you're a little kid just learning to speak but it's gross. Move on. His father had Polish ancestry, I guess. Maybe his mother did as well, I don't know.
There was another time we were his mother's car, my mother was there as well, and I was in the backseat with him. He had toy glasses on and kept repeating, "I'm a doctor." I found it annoying and said, "No just doctors wear glasses" to which he would reply, "I'm a doctor." Just kept repeating that. What a retard.
