Two of the major forces that have led to Guy Fawkes Night being smeared out into #GuyFawkesFortnight are (a) Diwali, and (b) the desire to have family friendly celebrations, and the accommodation to the working week, that leads to people scheduling things for the nearest weekend rather than on the exact day itself.
Looking at all of these events, it seems to me that (b) is also making #MayDay become 1st of May Week. #CoventryCharterhouse has celebrated as late as the 6th in years past, according to what I can find.
Next Monday is, of course, a Bank Holiday.

Primo piano ANSA - ANSA.it: Sayf: 'E' un sogno già essere qui, mi sento come il Leicester di Ranieri'
'E' quasi come perdere a rigori ma la canzone di Sal da Vinci mi piace'
Saif: 'It's a dream to be here, I feel like Leicester under Ranieri.'
It’s almost like losing on penalties but I like the song by Sal da Vinci.

Once again #CanMNT #AliAhmed scores for #Norwich in the #EFL #Championship to give them a decisive 2-0 win against #Leicester.
Great to see Ali get 90+ minutes. He will be ready for #Iceland at the end of March. Hopefully I will get to see more than 5 minutes of him, like I did against #Ecuador.

I can imagine myself, not having been forewarned thanks to @wild1145@mastodonapp.uk, seeing that all of the green baskets had been claimed, not caring about the colour, being a little contrarian, and picking one of the huge pile of red baskets that everyone seemed to be avoiding for some unknown reason.
That said, if I go to Fosse Park, it is almost never for Asda. Sainsbriz or M&S, more usually.
*That* said, I'm *now* half tempted to run an experiment to see whether it changes my Asda shopping experience in any way. I predict no effect whatsoever, except perhaps some disapproving stares and a comment by the checkout person that I was only the second person with a red basket today. (-:

I did a thing! Almost three years ago, I launched a co-operative newspaper in Leicester. Now, we're officially in print 🥳
The Leicester Gazette is our revolution against a broken industry.
