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.
-that is assuing that the regulator is kind enough to accept Saturday 25th as a non service day.

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

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.

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.
IF it ain't broke it soon will be if RM have their way
