Default Midsummer's Day [and night]?
Felly sgrifennodd Joe Egginton :
Do you mean the 21st or the 24th of June?

I ask because it's a common cause of confusion. The 21st June being the
summer solstice (Astronomical Date) , while the 24th June being
Midsummers Day (Quarter Day( Legal date))

That's true in Scandinavia, but I never realised it was true here.
