    Seriously, I think that's one of the benefits of being a contractor: having bank holidays when you want, 'cos let's face it bank holidays are normally:

    Very rainy and/or
    completely packed with people going where you want to go.


    No, much better to take a day off when you want.
    well for 2 of those days no one is working. It's just a good way to get a long break. Also I am taking a holiday when I want - which is next week.
    Raining?????

    I don't think so.
