Bank Holidays Like them or not?

I'm not a huge fan, it feels like we've got 3 sundays this week and sunday has never been my favourite day. All the telly gets messed up, there feels like a lot of pressure "to do something". Most of the bank holidays are religious ones and many aren't Christian so have little attachment to them. There also seems to be a huge social divide, white collar workers get to have time off, blue collar ones don't, when I worked in a small independent shop, we closed for bank holidays, some of our customers would complain, they were off work and so were we, younger folks seemed to have no idea that shops might want to close that we workers had homes, families and stuff to do.

How about you, do you like them, or are they a bit blah?

  • I always loved them when I was working because of the time off. I was one of those annoying "white collar" people working in an office (although not highly paid). I liked staying home and resting, watching movies & eating treats - I didn't want to go shopping! Now I'm retired it doesn't make much difference to me, although I still get treats to enjoy at Easter & Christmas.
