Bank Holiday in England, Wales and NI. For Scotland it seems that some people are treating it like a Bank Holiday and others not. I get Bank Holidays off now (didn't used to) but I am working tomorrow as it's a normal working day.

When I was working I hated bank holidays for one reason. I'd say to myself yay a day off I think I'll hit the town and guess what all the blasted shops are closed. Grrr

Whats so good about a day off if you can't go game shopping. :mad:

*makes a hundred threads asking if the post office is open like people did at Easter*

So what actually closes during bank holidays? Just banks or what?

Financial institutions, e.g. banks, building societies, stockmarket, post officies, etc are required to close for business on a bank holiday. Hence its name.

In England and Wales, until quite recently most other concerns closed as well. But gradually, many of these other concerns have decided not to close, as business is good with so many other people being on holiday.

I have to work tommorow, and I work for a retail bank...

I was told I dont have a choice, they have to be worked...

It does mean I get an extra day off in the week though...
