Bank Holiday
11 Answers
Hope all you lucky English people are enjoying your bank holiday. Crazy system here in Scotland - everyone at work today as we don't get bank holidays - but off tomorrow for the jubilee holiday. Seems a shame to split a long weekend but... Not to worry, the sun is shining in a clear blue sky and all's well with the world (well my world anyway and I'm happy here).

There are 8 public holidays (9 this year) which are generally matched across the country but it's the 2.5 privilege holiday days which screw things up. Whit Monday, Queens Birthday and Maunday Thursday can be taken to match a local holiday. Government departments in Scotland also have permission to match or transfer two more to cover local holidays one of which being the 2nd January. It's a pain in the backside really national organisation should be matching PH's with their HQ, especially if that is in England.
