Then there are those who are self-employed: my clients will be closed – perhaps you have suggestions s to how I find a new client for a singe day's work – and make up the money that I will lose?

Not, I want to point out, that I am having a whinge about it. But your post is simplistic to say the least.

Set fire to a trade unions' office.

If is "a" union's office, then it would be 'union's' – not plural.

Perhaps I should come around and play 'hunt Dally's brain cell'.

Then I could count it as voluntary service and a contribution to The Big Society.

So, getting an extra day is conditional on agreeing with the monarchy is it?
I hadn't read the small print, thanks for pointing that out.

The queen's head is on banknotes, maybe I shouldn't pay cash either?

I'll be at work as we've been told to use an Annual Leave day if we want to be off.

Can they do that? Or, rather, is it legal for them to do that?

They're doing it legal or otherwise ... Doesn't seem to have been challenged either!

I won't, but I bet there will be a good few who do.

I'm not that bothered TBH. As a customer-facing Manager, there are ways of getting time back when needed. :wink:

I work every bank holiday. If I want one off I have to take it as leave which I never do as I like the money and bank holidays are pish and just another day to me.
