Royal Wedding - Holiday

[toalisi]

As the wedding is on Friday 29th April there will be a bank holiday on the following Monday - Hurray

I would be grateful if they could postpone their wedding until maybe September/October - spread the holidays out a bit.

[squarebear]

Is that true? Where did you read that?

[ummmm]

It's just been on telly..

[jaydah]

Good Friday April 22
Easter Monday April 25

[squarebear]

Wouldn't that be Mayday anyway?

[lilacben]

It was just said on the radio. Shame I would have prefered it later on in the year.!

[squarebear]

So will they be moving the Mayday Bank Holiday?

[lilacben]

Thats a point I will have look on calender.

[Booldawg]

I wonder if there will be 'street parties' like the silver jubliee back in 1977? I still have my 'free' mug that all school kids got.

[squarebear]

Doesn't sound like a holiday to me if they are passing off Mayday as it.

[mike11111]

I think the idea is that there will be a Bank Holiday on the Friday as well as May 2nd - two long weekends in succession.

[lilacben]

Crafty devils you dont think they have done that on purpose do you.?

[lilacben]

That sounds good..........but far to close togehter.

[Booldawg]

Square - as I read it we'll get the Friday off for the wedding and the monday off as well for May Day.

[squarebear]

Nice one! I'm no royalist but will appreciate the extra day off.

[lilacben]

So only working week will be 3 days.

[squarebear]

Can't see many businesses being happy about that decision.

[lilacben]

No me neither. that will mean a 4 day week, 3day week,and another 4 day week.!

[redcrx]

that would be May 2nd which is already a bank holiday!

so no extra day for anyone

[squarebear]

Yes so they are saying we get the Friday 29th off instead red.
