Do we get a 4 day Xmas Holiday?

Post by CHUCKYPIG »

Someone at work today told me we all get Monday the 28th off work. I said that can't be right its usually only Xmas Day and Boxing Day and as both of those fall on a work day why the Monday off too?

I knew we got Friday 25th - Sunday 27th off, so a 3 day holiday. But do we really get Friday 25th - Monday 28th off so a 4 day holiday?

Is this true?

Yes because Boxing day is on a Saturday they made the Monday 28th a Bank Holiday so we have 4 days off

Yes.
The Bank Holidays are Friday and Monday.
Saturday is a non service day.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

 Yes.
The Bank Holidays are Friday and Monday.
Saturday is a non service day.
And yet, mysteriously, once again, the same logic does not apply the following weekend in Scotland.
