    This is the thing: every 4 years there is an additional day added at the end of February.
    This day is an extra day of work which is not paid for. There is a campaign to make February 29th a bank holiday. What do you think? Should it be a bank holiday day, or not?

    Good question. We could go like this the entire day. :))
    What plans do you have?

    If we vote YES to the EU, every day will be a bank holiday, because all the work will be done by cheap imports. :(:(

    If you've got enough free time to start a campaign about that I'd say the last thing you need is another bank holiday.

    That makes the two of us ;) If you've got enough free time to reply to such a thread, "I'd say the last thing you need is another bank holiday".
    I am not making a campaign on this, parahandy. I read an article about it this morning and I was curios about what you guys think.

    Yep. It would change a lot of things. Things that we don't even realise at the moment. I think the POLL at this time is around 52%-48% for remaining in the EU?

    Well in principle, you have not worked enough hours for the last 4 years, so today is just making up for that shortfall in what you have been paid :)

    Steady on Astra you will get banned using porno phrases on here.
     
  15. Oh, a typical day off; over to my sis-in-law's 'new' hoosie to fit a ceiling light, trim down the kitchen unit plinths, refit a tall housing unit, fill, sand and paint the wall opening...

    Damn, I wished I worked like everyone else... :(

    Well. i am guessing that there are a lot of advantages as well. For example, taking a holiday whenever you want?!
     
  18. Don't mock. Every single day - that's every single day - I'm forced to go out and walk across miles of soft golden sand with my 2 dawgs.

    It's hell, I tell ye...
     
  19. (Except today as it's pishing down... :rolleyes: )
