Isn't that we he said. Boxing day is Saturday, the substitute BH day is Monday.

Because Boxing day this year falls on a Monday
, if the day after Christmas Day: Boxing day falls on a Saturday the bank holiday day off automatically moves to Monday
so if RM and OFCOM didn't agree to the Saturday after Christmas Day being a non working day we would have had Friday off (Christmas Day) then would have had to work normally on Sat (day after Christmas day) and then had the Monday off (Boxing Day) confusing isn't it?

This way we get Fri,Sat,Sun and Monday off

we have this every every few years but in the past when we had four days off after Christmas we had to work the extra hours back but that changed a while back
No,Boxing day is Saturday this year not Monday.
If you read my reply properly you will see when Christmas day falls on a Friday, boxing day (bank Holiday) falls on a Monday NOT a Saturday so, as I stated if RM and OFCOM didn't agree to the Saturday after Christmas Day being a non working day we would have had Friday off (Christmas Day) then would have had to work normally on Sat (day after Christmas day) and then had the Monday off (Boxing Day) hope that's clear

The competition would surely be happy if we aren't working the 26th, it means they can mop up the extra business that day. :hmmmm

I think you inputted a question not being debated. This one is the one which some people seem strangely confused about:
