England and Wales have the lowest number of public holidays in Europe

A snap bank holiday if England win the Euro 2020 final will still leave it far behind other countries.

More than 300,000 Britons have signed a petition calling on the government to give the UK a Bank Holiday on Monday if England win the Euro 2020 Championship final against Italy. The petition, if followed to the letter, would see the entire UK take Monday off to celebrate what would be a historic win for the English team.

Downing Street has neither confirmed nor denied whether plans for a snap bank holiday are in the works. But if one did come to pass, it would do little to move England and Wales from bottom of the league table for public holidays in Europe.
