Not going to lie, I think this is really silly and that there's not much point to it.

But there'll be alot of U25s who already have that date off since they'll be studying at uni. Seems relatively pointless to me.

The Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) estimates the cost of each bank holiday to be £2.3bn, though the think-tank admitted it was "difficult to calculate".
So, no.
No I don't think so. That day should be recognised as Left Handers Day instead.
How pointless.Stupid idea, Why not a bank holiday for over 80s, to recognise their contribution to society and this country ?

Plus, I hate bank holidays anyway. Everything is shut and it sucks. Nooooo thank you!

Don't they have every day off anyway? Retirement, and all that. Probably won't mean much to them.

Agreed 100%. Especially since the day they propose is very close to an existing Bank Holiday (26/27/28 Aug 2017 - August Bank Holiday; adjust the dates for the 2018 bank holiday).
A new Bank Holiday should be (a) for good reason and (b) not close to an existing Bank Holiday.

Presumably quite a clever marketing campaign from 'The Mix' -- try to say something so silly that the entire internet talks about how silly it is.
