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.

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 ...... "

Got a deployment at the end of the week and the entire team is based in Belgium plus we are behind schedule.
So done yesterday and today. Every penny counts.

I am almost finished listening to the Audio book of "Too big to fail".
It is amazing how blind the bankers can be to their own rick and just how secure or insecure their own companies were up untill almost immediately before the whole model started failing and Lehman collapsed.
I almost feel like I cannot trust them with my hard earned. But you have to put it somewhere, right.

I wonder if the world will notice a difference and find out that Sasguru and the likes are at home today doing nothing productive compared to them being in the office doing nothing productive.
