I love UK bank holidays! You get so many of them, and they are always fun. We get a 3-day weekend next week, which is sort of out of synch, because don't they usually correlate with UK? Whatever.... ENJOY!!!!

Oh Poor Baby! It would probably be a regular 8 hr day if it weren't for having to play nice with the teams. Tell them I said to leave you alone so you can finish up and go home.

Console yourself that you have one on the 3rd October when we don't.
(it's still in my diary from when I was jetting backwards and forwards, so I think that's right?)

It's only a Bank Holiday in England and Wales (not Scotland).

"cross-jurisdictional" ?? does that mean you can just arbitrarily observe the bank holidays of any nation in the world ??? ok, i'm cross-jurisdictional too !!! quick, call kuala lumpur and ask what's the national holiday of malaysia ? i'll be taking that off, along with all the others.

The fairy flies between Scotland and England. So far she has not spread her wings or waved her wand elsewhere.

zelda_pinwheel · 08-22-2008, 05:09 PM

so you're saying this is a fairies-only status ? do you need anything other than sparkles and wings to become a fairy ? i might convert if it means double the bank holidays...

Well, if you moved to the Spanish border then you could probably celebrate both sets of holidays. I could fancy the Val d'Aran.

there's an idea. before searching for a new appartment though i think i'll check all the countries we share a border with to see which one has the most bank holidays. so, maybe val d'aran, or maybe, you know, strasbourg. or something. (hm. let's hope it's val d'aran. perhaps the sunlight could also be factored into the equation. how many bank holidays would you need to offset good weather conditions ?)
