I will do the decent thing and pay the ultimate price for making such a gross error, which has brought shame on me, my family, nay, the Irish nation.

Thanks for posting the wrong date, when I was looking it up I read something I didn't know, when a Public Holiday falls on a weekend you are NOT entitiled to the next working day off, I always assumed when a Public holiday was on the weekend you were automatically entitled to the next Monday off instead but you're not, you are only entitled to a day off within 1 month of the public Holiday and no compensation for working the Monday..

It's an excuse to get pissed on a Sunday night as well! (In addition to the usual Friday & Sat of the weekend). I'm off to get sozzled so!

It always seems a good idea at the time.....

The term Bank Holiday was coined upon the introduction of the first ever paid holidays workers were given, during the Industrial Revolution. Prior to this the only time off was from Saturday afternoon to Sunday, but not necessarily both. The politician who created it always intended it to be a holiday for all workers. I cant remember his name before anyone asks.

Is it a Bank Holiday in Northern Ireland tomorrow???
