What do you think the chances are of being off Friday to Mon inc with the BH for boxing day being the Mon or do you think RM will play us and have us in on the Sat which is officially not a BH?

Exceptions to the universal service consultation
12 June 2009
Today Postcomm launched a two month consultation on Royal Mail’s application for exceptions to its universal service obligations for the following:
* Saturday 26 December 2009 (Boxing Day 2009) in the UK1;
* the day following the Battle of the Boyne bank holiday in Northern Ireland; and
* certain local holidays in Scotland (to be taken instead of official bank holidays in Scotland);
* due to a bank holiday2 falling on a Saturday and the Secretary of State has appointed the following Monday as the official bank holiday in its place, the Saturday may be taken as a holiday and the Monday (official bank holiday) will be a normal working day.
If an exception is allowed for a day which is not an officially recognised bank holiday, it means that Royal Mail will not have to meet its universal service obligations to deliver or collect mail on that day.
The aim of this consultation is to seek views from postal users (senders and recipients) in the UK or parts of the UK that may be affected by no postal services on the holidays that Royal Mail plans to observe. So, for example, to consult on whether most customers (residential and business) in Scotland prefer a postal service on local holidays rather than on official bank holidays.
The Consultation is open for two months and will close on Wednesday 12 August 2009.
1 This will be in addition to the official bank holiday on Monday 28 December 2009 which Royal Mail says that it will also observe.
2 This only applies to some bank holidays – more details in Chapter 2 and Appendix 3 of the consultation document.
