With tomorrow being May 1, it seems a good time to have a quick look at the background of one of Britain's oldest holidays.

Welcome!!!
Welcome to my new blog! As an Englishman living in the United States, I have encountered many strange beliefs held by Americans about my birthplace, and that was the initial reasoning behind this page. Then, I thought it would be better if I simply expanded it to cover everything British. That way, it will - hopefully (!) - appeal to a much wider audience.
Some of of the content here will be very familiar, and some less so. I hope to cover every aspect of British life and culture, from sport to food, from music to traditions, and from history to up-to-the-minute news. I will try to make it as readable and entertaining as I can, although there will be some posts of a much more serious, and very moving, nature.
My first "real" post will follow in a few hours, as I wish to kick-off with a celebration of one of the quirkier British holidays, "May Day".
