Some bloke is marrying his bird next year and the whole country gets the day off! Sounds strange but it's actually true! Ok this 'bloke' happens to be Prince William but the rest is true.

So are you for or against this extra bank holiday?

I'm all for an extra day off work but it's a bit silly in my opinion. My main question is 'why'? It's very cute that they are getting married by why does anyone else (apart from their family) have to be bothered? I smell bribery.

Also, being in the print industry, this has extra implications. We have already printed a lot of calendars for next year - without this bank holiday on. Will we need to re-print? Rolling Eyes Confused

i think thats pretty dumb, but i guess thats just me. doesnt work like that in the states, but if it did im sure it would have to be a paid holiday, and that i wouldnt mind so much lol. but as far as the purpose of it all im baffled
