Leap Years

[NickFitz]

That is little to do with the Anglicans. The suggestion has come from the orthodox church via Rome...

Given that the reason we have had arguments over the date of Easter for 10 centuries its nice that the people you would least expect to want to fixed are the ones pushing for it..

Looks like Welby's trying to claim the credit, therefore he can have the blame too: Archbishop Justin Welby hopes for fixed Easter date - BBC News

Because the old Roman year ended at the end of February, so the intercalary day was at the end of the year from their point of view. Though now the Anglicans are babbling about changing the date of Easter because of school holidays, I suppose everything's up for grabs

Yaay! I'm a contractor again for this year. In 2012 I was a permie.

No, it still is, the days after it are then re-numbered!

That sounds like something Gordon Brown would have done. Like the dividend tax credit.

I love leap days, explaining to permies that as they're on an annual salary they're working an extra day for free

There's been quite a few changes since then.

Just had an idea.


The leap day should be either a public holiday or tax free. (Permies get a paid holiday/Contractors don't pay any tax on their earnings that day)

[SueEllen]

Cos people would not go to work

[Gumbo Robot]

Why can't we have an extra day in July instead of extending the misery of February?

Just a thought.
