Aaargh! The august bank holiday is next monday, the 25th

[OwlHoot]

Why isn't it the following monday, the 1st september?!

Oh, I suppose it's movable like Easter, and the week after next doesn't count as the "last week in august"

Lucky I spotted this, or I'd have turned up at clientco on the 25th and looked a right twit

[original PM]

indeed it is always the last Monday in August...

hope you spend the extra free time wisely

On the other hand, nobody else would have been there to see it

As oPM points out, it has to be the last Monday in the month, or it wouldn't be the August Bank Holiday - the clue's in the name

I thought it was called that because it is an impressive and respected bank holiday...

This holiday reminds me that. There has been no bank holidays since May. And the next one won't be until December 25th.

Could use a couple more in between?

OK here's a challenge

Think of two more English words that are pronounced differently and have different meaning when capitalised.
