Re: Easter

You discover one interesting fact about Easter if you are responsible for controlling a budget and your financial year ends on 31 March. If Easter falls very early and you know it's going to be a problem to balance the books by the end of the FY, you find:

a) Everybody you want to work extra hours to make sure you've spent all your money is suddenly away on holiday.

b) Everybody you want to speak to outside about getting their invoices in to you as soon as possible is also on holiday.

c) Your own financial staff make it quite clear that they expect you to have sorted everything out by Easter.
