Hi Chris,
I've found a solution of sorts, if you go into Edit RLD's towards the top
of this window is the option to un-tick English Public Holidays, doing
this then allows the selection of the three options above ie. New Years
Day, Easter Sunday, and Christmas Day, the rest of the Public Holidays
that have disappeared can then be added with the correct dates to the
RLDlist for the specific year in question.
I don't know if this is mentioned in the user guide/manual, but i've just
tried it and it does work.

Best Wishes
Raymond
