It seems that today is known as mad Friday (the Friday before Christmas) because a lot of people finish work today for the Christmas holiday and go out drinking according to the media. Which people are these then? I don't know of anyone finishing today apart from teachers perhaps. There is nearly a week to go yet.

Many people will book the next fortnight off because, for those who work Mondays to Fridays, due to the bank holidays they can get 16 days' holiday at a cost of 7 days' annual leave.

No time off. We work for ourselves- so if my sister does mine- I'll have to do hers.
