See, I'm all for promoting festivals for London's incredibly diverse population, but to leave out British/English ones is a shame.
We get a bit of that in the sector I work in - it's really important to promote other cultures' festivals and holy days, but we get all coy around Christmas, warning people not to 'offend people' by celebrating or having nativity scenes etc.
Have them all, or have none, that's what I reckon.
(Don't mention the Great Christmas Card debate. OMG.)
