Just a reminder Friday May 8th is a Bank Holiday this year.

I nearly got caught out as my House Calendar says it is on Monday 4th!

That is because they were printed l think before they changed the Bank Holiday date SnoopZ.

As I've been furloughed until July, I get Easter and the 2 bank holidays in May back, roughtly 32 hours, plus the 44 hours for my summer holiday which I'll have to cancel.

So 76 hours back.

Your work isn't paying your full monthly wages are they? A few people at my work who have been furloughed get their normal monthly wages, a bank holiday is a bank holiday though so they would normally get paid for that anyway.

Nope I'm only getting 80%, my company won't make up the shortfall.

Not good.

Yeah, they only moved it June last year, when many calendars and stuff had already been printed. :cool:

In the end, it was all for nothing really, due to CV19. :(

I barely know what day of the week it is at the moment. Bank holidays will just wash right over me regardless of when they happen.

I only just know what day of the week it is based on TV programmes.

Friday is a Bank Holiday? Great, the garden could do with some rain. ;););)

Re: Just a reminder Friday May 8th is a Bank Holiday this year
 

The current [Friday] prediction for my area is 20 C. :Sun:

Rain predicted for Monday though, perhaps no one informed the weatherman the holiday moved. ;)

Re: Just a reminder Friday May 8th is a Bank Holiday this year
 

Why did they move it? And is it now always going to be the first Friday in May as opposed to Monday?

Re: Just a reminder Friday May 8th is a Bank Holiday this year
 

It is to celebrate 75 years since VE day. AFAIK it's just this year.

Sadly this is another event that's been a victim of the pandemic..:(
