Bank holiday collections

Was it just our office on Monday that didnt do any collections? We were off but for the first time since I started there wasnt any collections from PO's or businesses. It seems very strange. Is this the way forward for RM? To chase businesses away?

Up until Monday we had always had a bank holiday monday collection because not all PO's & businesses are shut. We even had a postie ready to do the collections but it was cancelled on the Friday which meant that not all the collections were notified. Some PO's had accepted SD's thinking it would be collected. Just think it is pretty shoddy of RM but no surprise really.

Bank Holiday collections were ceased when Sunday collections were ceased.
How come you had a Bank Holiday last week? I thought that Scotland had their Summer Bank Holiday on 4 August -
or do you get two ?
