Whit Friday

Cheers matey! Lets hope the rain stays off! Can't be doing with another wet whit Friday night!
 
Completely confused by this. Always thought that Whit/Pentecost was a set number of weekends after Easter. Should therefore have been last weekend, as it was in other countries, including here. Is it just the UK that has moved Whit, presumably because of other bank holidays earlier in May?
 
I did six years living in delph
Everything about these villages is geared towards today
I did enjoy it though,and will be popping up later on...
 
When I was a kid this meant new clobber from Woods on Stamford St. in Ashton and people pressing money in your hands,which my dad would exchange for pints of bitter in the Assheton Arms and occasionally get us an R.Whites and a bag of crisp.
Manchester's whit walks were always a week later than Ashton's.
