take one day less holiday in the rest of the year?

Just read this horror story on Sky News. I hope the Queen is going to compensate those of us who lose out financially out of the steaming great pile of cash her family have stolen from us over the years the sponging old trout.

I don't object to the Monarchy and an extra Bank Holiday is ok (apart from not being able to bill of course), but we really don't need another Bank Holiday in the summer.

Don't worry, NF.

On Weds 29th Feb 2012 is International Contractors Day when only the temporary and contract staff get paid.

The permies have to go in for no extra money.

I luuurve it with 29th Feb is a working day. It's tease, tease, tease all day long.

Edit: Found a better description.

By 2012 global warming will mean it's too hot to work anyway.

Plus all computers will have been rendered useless by the Y2.012K bug.

Only if I'm off the bench

Then we'll have a referendum on whether to continue the Crown m'larky

The Government do a referendum??? you mean they will abolish the royalty saying that it is for the good of the country and that they will spend the money saved on the NHS but in reality they will give MP's a pay rise

Maybe she'll snuff it before then?

Alternatively that is an extra day on double-time for some people.

Am I right to be cynical about the timing of this announcement?

The Golden Jubilee Bank Holiday in 2002 was not announced until November 2000.

Make it clear to your pimps that you are a republican
