My company only recognise 2 holidays, Christmas day and boxing day, every other day is a normal working day. You need to book off bank holidays etc.

Although my French colleagues regularly do "Sur le pont", which is meaningless aprt from it means they take extra days holidays around their bank holidays to make long weekends etc. Oh to have some harmonised T&Cs. (ie, I keep my car, but get their holidays etc.)

Today off and a day of hell at work tomorrow, the civil service get 2.5 privilidge days (dont ask me why ffs) which we non civil servants don't get. Therfore when i go into work tomorrow, there will be some 3000 less people in the building and my internet connection will take a hammering and ill be ****ed if any of it will be work related LOL.

Tim,

It's just stuff for the kids. There's an event on at the farm, plus we are National Trust members, so the garden enrty costs nothing extra.

I'm at work at saga today. It's not too bad but I'd rather be elsewhere, even with the rain which appears to have now stopped!
