If that's the case the boys are bringing in the PS2 and having another tourney - feel free to join them, and tell them I said hi because they're still expecting me in!

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...

It is a bank (and public) holiday in Scotland too. I have to work however, boo!

Scottish Executive: Bank Holidays

Aye, I know it is offcially. Yet most places I know of that are shut for all bank holidays are open for this one. Strange... and no fair

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.

Virtually none of the shops close on bank holiday, many are infact open regular hours.

yes its bank holiday

so everyone will pile in the restaurant.. not realising the people in the kitchen are cursing everyone who orders as its always busy.. but busier on public holidays

Quoted for truth. It is funny seeing the chef get angry though

Oh, believe me, I know the havoc a bank holiday can bring upon the unfortunate ... my first job was as a ticket seller at Drayton Manor, and bank holidays were always horrific. My next three jobs were at bars in the surrounding area - and despite enjoying them immensly, bank holidays were obviously our busiest. Now, working as a database administrator for the NHS, I can finally appreciant a bank holiday.

Scotland does seem to take a laissez faire attitude to public holidays; there never seems to be parity of who's open and working! I'm working too, but hope your work goes as quickly as possible!

Is Google broken?

Personally I wish there were less bank holidays so I could actually choose when to take the day off, rather than having to take it at the same time as millions of others, and having banks and post offices etc. all shut. Great.

Just doing the washing up, my housemate mentioned that tomorrow is a bank holiday. I work as a database administrator, and we are allowed bank holidays off. Oddly, I wasn't informed by my line manager that Monday was a bank holiday ... IS IT??

no, today is.
