I am on contract in Aberdeen and they don't get or take the same bank holidays as England so ity is a normal working day. The embarassing thing is I just phoned the bank to complain thet the standing order for my salary due on the 28th has not been processed ....... "No sir it hasn't, the 28th was a Sunday and today is a bank holiday ...... "

As Bank Holidays cause so much confusion on CUK, allow me explain. They are working days (Monday's usually) when permies for the most part don't go in to work but still get paid, so they are a bit like permie holiday. I realise these concepts take a bit of getting used to and need further explanation, but you can look them up. For contractors it means roads and office are unusually empty. HTH.

In addition there are some of the more annoying ones that seem to pop every now and then, like Christmas Day and Boxing Day. They're always annoying as sometimes even the sandwich shop isn't open on the way to the office.

Then please explain why it is so unusually quiet on here today? Observation would suggest the usual suspects are not present.

Sasguru's not here because he's a permie. Dimprawn's not here because his mum's got a day off work and she's at home today and she won't let him use the computer.

Aye, it's so much easier when it doesn't move.
