The extra holiday will fall in the same week as Easter Monday, giving millions of workers a three-day week.

I expect we'll be used to 3-day weeks by then.

William said that he will “support a public holiday”. Shall I invoice him?

Count yourself lucky - doors close to contractors here on the 17th Dec and don't reopen until the new year. While I normally take around 2 weeks off for Christmas, I like it to be my decision!

The Royal family with the Middletons will pay for the wedding out of private money, said the aide.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall during the negotiations of who pays for what.

Aye MF. I did raise an eyebrow when Mrs PL managed to complain about the cost of the security to the taxpayer but how happy she was about getting a paid day off work in almost the same sentence.

Anyone up for a CUK diving trip to Sharm or Bonaire?

I'm sure Mrs PL will want to enjoy the festivities so a week's pass is almost guaranteed.
