Petition PM For Armistice Bank Holiday! News

Now we at TVG Towers arenâ??t the kind of people who go on wild insane rants; we certainly wouldnâ??t rant about our European cousins, and how we sometimes get a raw deal. However, this time, the line has been crossed and there is no going back.

Due to the fact that November 11th, the day that Halo 2 finally makes an appearance, is Armistice Day and a Public Holiday in France, Belgium, and Switzerland, the decision has been taken to release the game in those countries on November 10thâ?¦THIS IS SO UNFAIR! We know that November 11th is a day that we should all pay our respects to those who gave their lives in The Great War, but to release it a day BEFORE in the three countries so they can get a head start on Halo2 after theyâ??ve participated in their minuteâ??s silence is ridiculous.

Us Brits, Germans, and Italians (not to mention the Turks) have to wait until the 11th and then finish work before we can play the next chapter in Master Chiefâ??s Covenant obliterating story, and we took part in World War I. Why on earth has Switzerland got Armistice Day as a public holiday? They didnâ??t fight in the war. In fact, the Swiss havenâ??t been engaged in warfare for 400 years! Which begs another question, if they donâ??t go to war, what is the point of having a Swiss Army or a knife?

Itâ??s a crazy world in which we live, so if you live in the UK, petition Parliament, e-mail Tony, and make Armistice Day a public holiday in Britain. If you are German, petition the Reichstag and e-mail Schroeder.

The TVG Team will be doing everything within our power to make things happen here in TVG Towers as we play our advanced copy of the gameâ?¦
