Christmas 2010

Post by Lounge Lizard »

Looking at my new calendar I presume we all have four days off next Christmas ;
Saturday 25th,
Sunday 26th,
Bank holiday Monday 27th, and
Bank holiday Tuesday 28th. :Very Happy
-that is assuing that the regulator is kind enough to accept Saturday 25th as a non service day. :nana

Nice to think that someone still assumes they will have a job this time next year

Did you not get the letter from the pension people, that's how long you now have to pay into the pension fund to get it :wink:

No, I've only just survived the run up to Christmas 2009, twelve hour days and all that which is ridiculous at my age, so it was a daft question anyway really. :crazy:

I'm on holiday from Christmas eve and have already been given the two days credit for Mon/Tue in the holiday allowance for the year, so it would seem they have resigned themselves to the 4 days off regardless of what the regulator might say.
