Re: one of those days!!!!
The St Andrew's Day Holiday (Scotland) Bill was approved by Parliament on Wednesday November 29, 2006.
It aims to promote St Andrew's Day on November 30 as a national celebration of Scottish identity and culture across the whole of Scotland.
What the Bill does not do
It does not automatically create an additional day off work or school
It does not oblige employers to change their existing pattern of holidays
It does not add to the total number of designated local holidays in any year
Sorry TBT,Royal Mail no play fair.....Surprising?
