We used to get a half day's AL for Maundy Thursday, something to do with us being 'Royal' Mail'. It was carried over so that we got a full day's AL on our winter leave every other year.
Iirc it was scrapped as part of the Way Forward Agreement 2000 and instead we got an extra day on our AL entitlement so new entrants got 4 weeks and one day for the first 5 years. Before that new entrants got 3 weeks and 3 days AL plus two 'priviledge' days and the Maundy Thursday half day.
We also gave up the 'Christmas Priviledge Day' and the 'Queen's Birthday Priviledge Day'.
