Present Continuous for Future Arrangements

Many students use only will or going to in order to talk about the future. However, it’s very common to use the present continuous to talk about the future, in the case of arrangements that are planned:
 + I’m having dinner with friends tonight.
 + She’s meeting David at the train station tomorrow.

National Days in the UK

National Days are not celebrated in Britain in the same way as they are in a number of other countries. Only St Patrick's Day in Northern Ireland (and the Republic of Ireland) and St Andrew's Day in Scotland (from 2007) are taken as an official holiday. All the other national days are normal working days, such as

St. George's Day in England and St. David's Day in Wales.
