Hi there,
Here's a tip for you in you live in the UK around the Easter 4 days bank holiday weekend.
1. Leave the country for 4 days!!!
2. Stay at home and don't venture onto any motorways!!!
It's lovely being stuck in hours of traffic jams, people towing slow caravans and people with cars full of kids blocking up the roads.
The moral of the story is stay at home.
Enjoy your weekend!!!

PS...or the first holiday of the USA driving season and everyone clogs the highways and goes and sees Granny!!
I went for a walk with a friend today, and we made our way through the woods to the side of the motorway. It was actually rather quiet, considering. That said, Friday and Monday are the true busy days after all.
And to reiterate John's point, good weekend to all!

Around this time of the year we have a "tomb sweep day" where people go and sweep tombs of their dead ancestors. Unfortunately for retail businesses its slow as hell because everyone's busy sweeping tombs...
Hi John,
Nice to hear from you!
For some reason, Easter here in the US is not quite as big a deal as over in the UK, I guess. For one, it's not a bank holiday (at least I don't ever recall it being such; but then again, sometimes I've been accused of living under a rock - lol). It's certainly an important day for all Christians here in the US (as well as those folks heavily into rabbits & colored eggs - lol); but it's not a national holiday like Christmas is... Go figure!

It has the fatal flaw of always falling on a Sunday. It's harder to justfiy losing a day of work that way, and the US has fewer holidays than the other industrialized nations. The stock market was closed for Good Friday though.
