It's the Labour/International workers day holiday tomorrow isn't it ? I shall be taking a holiday as is traditional. If I'm wrong I'll take Friday off as well so you can't say fairer than that

You got that wrong, Mr K. Friday (1 May) was Labpur Day and the likes of Germany, France etc took Friday off.

Yes but we usually celebrate on the first Monday in May.

I suppose that's your get-out for the inaccuracy. It was a poxy Labour government that gave the UK another day of unproductivity.

Frankly it's going to be a wasted day for many anyway.

Re: Just a reminder Friday May 8th is a Bank Holiday this year
Well I'm furloughed, so I'm off both Monday & Friday.
I was told by work that as I'm furloughed, I will get the hours back for Easter and both Bank Holidays in May, About 32 hours.

I had it booked off originally.
I cancelled that to save for later in the year.
Same for some of my Easter holidays I had booked.
I'm going to have lots of holiday to take later in 2020.

Re: Just a reminder Friday May 8th is a Bank Holiday this year
We are expecting a local DJ to tour our area with his "Disco on a Push Bike" road show. The sun is due to be shinning, everyone is hanging bunting and flags along their front gardens and, although we will all be social distancing, it should be a community event that we can all enjoy even if it is only going to last half an hour.
Roll on 2pm.
