EU sends out £4.4m diaries to schools
EU sends out £4.4m diaries to schools which list Muslim, Chinese and Hindu holidays... but miss out Christmas and Easter

EU officials have described the diaries as 'a rather gross error' but were at a loss to explain how it might have occurred

I think to avoid offending anyone, they should reprint them all again properly. no matter what the cost.

Better still withdraw the first ones and never do it again.

Re: EU sends out £4.4m diaries to schools
Erm, no - I was pointing out that it was in another publication (not just the Fail), just like the previous poster re the Christian journal; the date of publication was not meant as a criticism.

CF hasn't picked anything up, last month, last week or today.
An individual posting in one of our forums has picked it up after reading about it in the paper that tells him what to think.

Re: EU sends out £4.4m diaries to schools
The more serious question is why there is even a need for an EU diary to be issued. let alone that it might have ommissions. Why to government's feel the need to find money to blow their own trumpet
