Day off for bereavement

Post by brandydoguk »

As we are still currently ROYAL mail when the queen dies do we get a day off work to mourn?

Why are you planning something :nervous :wink:
I think when she dies the whole country will get a day off or the ones that don't work for foreign firms will :cuppa
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Let's hope she makes it to 2012 as we'll get an extra Bank Holiday for her Golden Jubilee - Friday 5 June 2012,
which will give us a long weekend (Fri 5-Mon 8) as the Monday is the Spring Bank Holiday.
Well a long weekend for those that don't have to work on the Saturday. :sad:

Anyway she's only 84 and her mother lived to 100, so you might have to wait a few years, and she might well abdicate before then.
