   @snaptophobic @oldrawgabbit England gets every Monday off between June and August off to make up for it, though. 😉

     Is it a Bank Holiday in other countries, or just here in the UK? I think they added another day off after too many people couldn't face work after all their celebrations for New Year. But I'm not complaining. I just have to remember which day to put the bins out.

     "The term "bank holiday" refers to the fact that banking institutions typically close for business on such holidays, as they once used to do on certain saint's days."
