Maybe you want to read up on the reason and details of said day?

 

Depends also on the weather....

And local customs: Here in m region we have an additional tradition at the 1 May: village fiestas, mounting maypole (here far bigger than in e.g. Sweden, has to be able to stay for years securly).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maypole

out of that page

 

In smaller cities / villages often more or less the complete population is partying for many hours (do not try to drive here around the time those are closing, you might get hit by a beer-drinker.... GRRRR I nearly ended in the ditch trying to avoid one of those in the past)

Yep. Also UK has a holiday on the first Monday of May, so if May 1st was a Monday then UK would join in too. (So we have holi on May 6th this year)

The countries of the anglosphere (US, UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand) donot celebrate it. Everywhere else does. Not really sure why.

In Ireland and UK, it's usually associated to the holiday on n the first Monday of May, the 6th this year. Although it's known as May Bank Holiday, no mention of Labour Day or anything like that.

That I actually knew!  😉  

 

In the end I guess its 'secure' to assume Wednesday might see an increase, but for street action thingies of the unions and Germanic based folklore parties... it might be less than at an average public holiday

Yes and no. The reason lays in the history of the governments trying to deflate the calls for the workers getting a Labour day too. So they added one time near enough to deflate the calls for it, but formulated it in a way, that allowed them to save face.

So it is on paper not related at all, but in reality caused by it. 😉

UK and Ireland also has some additional, non-related party reasons: Beltane (Bealtaine in Irish = May) and Morris Dance. Again something I can imagine especially something still celebrated especially in smaller cities and villages, a get together thing like here

Northern Cyprus is not a legitimate country. The only country on the island of Cyprus is the Republic of Cyprus (from now on referred to as 'Cyprus') and the whole island belongs to this republic (according to the UN and all countries in the world except Turkey). The northern part of the island is occupied by the Turkish army and has declared itself as an independent country, but the only country in the world that recognises it as such is Turkey.

 

I thought it was even more annoying that you included "Northern Cyprus" in that list but not Cyprus. I probably wouldn't have commented otherwise but you crossed a line. Cyprus also celebrates May Day. Northern Cyprus, according to every country and every international organisation in the world (except Turkey), is not a legitimate state. Please don't make this provocative and political when there is no reason for it to be. If it was an honest mistake, then let's forget that it happened.

Wednesday Labour Day early estimate: 

 

908,379

HUGE!

From SK thread. For comparison, IW had LD one day earlier and managed 717,324 admissions, so this is a fantastic result. 

 

Will likely rise to around 920k, overall a huge 65% increase from yesterday. Around $6.5m thanks to a tanking ER recently

I’m realistically targeting about 950 DOM, 650 China, 1.4B OS-C for 2.9.        

 

As Gavin says, I think 3B is a more interesting stretch goal atm, can go back to talking about Avatar if legs start collapsing.

You know, I am really wondering why you had to bring up political whatever in length, but only one sentence about any other possibility.

 

Guess what, I took it out of wikipedia, the list of 1 May countries in German, focusing mainly on: hmmm, what is the country's name in English and how gets it spelled? As it was not first on one of the lists (different ones, I also resorted it by abc), that focus was the only POV for that. Either Cyprus was not listed or I got side-tracked, as mentioned at dom, I do construction work at home mostly today, and lurk into BOT for the fun of the records breaking. I wrote there something like it feels like half of the world has holiday today, some of the named countries here in OS mean it has to be more than half of the world

= hence why I tried to give readers here a feel for what to expect (and to not over-expect, see parties...), so they have a working possibility for their predictions.

Fun part?

I myself am not into predictions, I am into finals and the reasons for those. And am not even into the record breaking movie, for me it was a 6.5/10

= trying to be helpful for people like you and others in between of doing DIY

That's all.
