[arnold cheshire]

Yes.
In Scotland we even work on Good Friday.

which would you prefer extra new yr or extra easter

[ripio]

Bank Holidays and Public Holidays are not the same thing, in Scotland anyway. So even if a day is a Bank Holiday as marked on the calendar it doesn't mean that it is a general Public Holiday.

New year every time, allows an extra day for recovery from the celebrations, and downside of easter friday is you still need to work the friday

It wasn't in my nature to suggest you were all raging alcoholics north of Carlisle

I was serving with a guy from Motherwell and we stopped off at his house on our way back from training in the highlands and in those days I did drink a little imagine my suprise to find that pubs didn't open on Sunday

i know a lot of alcoholics in carlisle.

Well it's a shame to waste it if you've already bought it....have you had that brand before? If not you might as well crack it open ( so when you gift another bottle you can say what it's like ). If you have had it before, you might as well crack it open ( for quality control and testing purposes, obviously )

God god No and thrice No ........ I would not sully my lips with the devils brew..........I am t-total and have been for 30 years ......however.........I do have alcohol in my house - lager, whisky, brandy, wine, vodka, various others...........I buy for guests to drink...

[smokerjim]

There's nothing wrong with the Devil's water, fact is the Devil always gets the best gear, best drinks, best music, best everything....still if you want to go to Heaven to rock out to NKOTB, The Carpenters, Brotherhood of Man, etc, then knock yourself out - me? I want Led Zep, Motorhead, Hendrix, The Stones....so I'm gonna be surfing on a lake of fire, hi-fiving Satan as I go, with a packet of smokes in one hand & a large drink in the other
