    Bank Holiday Shuffle

    There has been talk for a while of moving the May Day Bank Holiday to another time of the year.

    The most recent suggestions are either moving it to April as a St George's Day break or October as a Trafalgar Day one.

    Which would you prefer?

    Why would tourists care what day was a bank holiday except to avoid it and the crowds?

      Have to say it's the one thing I miss form home. It's nice having a long weekend in October.

        Not sure if it's the same bank holiday in Scotland, either way I work septic time so no missed days on the timesheet

          If it was moved to April because of that Roman dragon-abuser who never set foot in this country, it would conflict with Easter Monday in some years - including this year.

            I think of bank holidays as traffic congestion, cant get in anywhere because of the millions of kids etc.

            So for me, a bank holiday would be a weekend when it would nice to be forced to stay at home

              Trafalgar day is fine in my book. I can't think of any Bank Holidays in the autumn, but there are loads in the spring.

                  Would be nice to have a break after August. and while they are at at it can they move Easter Monday to either June or July and only give kids one week off at Easter!

                    That would be good.
