How long have you worked for RM, I would say your chances are absolutely zero.

Just ask.
They can only say no.
I have worked in offices where the staff are offered the option of working their day off over the xmas pressure and any surplus that throws up get sent to the Mail Centre.
It depends on your office.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

It depends on the reason you need it off for.
