John Key Day

Tracy Watkins reports at Stuff:

At a business breakfast in San Francisco early this morning US time, the pitch to US business continued.

Meanwhile, San Francisco has declared today Prime Minister John Key Day in honour of his visit to the city.

But mayor Ed Lee admitted it didn’t come with a day off – just a proclamation which was presented to Key today.

That is hilarious – a day proclaimed in Key’s name just because he visited San Francisco.

That sort of thing I would expect from minor obscure cities, such as Boulder, Colorado which probably don’t get a lot of Heads of Governments visiting. But San Francisco? They must hand out naming days several times a week!
