personally i wouldnt want some1 around my house whilst i was at home with the family / or out in the garden

its a day off, i allways enjoyed them when i was working for some1 else, i still enjoy them now i work for myself and dont get paid

[wightsurf]

It's double pay for working bank holiday, : thats right int it

[windows_chepstow]

Having worked on Bank Holidays before, no-one has ever objected.  Just tell them you're 'behind' on your round.

I do like to take them off, but if I want to work; I will.

[craig jwc]

I have the Mondays off but usually work the Friday.

Depends on how i feel really

Having worked shift work for the last 10 years and contracted to work most bank holidays, these 2 days off will be one benefit of being my own boss!

personally i wouldnt want some1 around my house whilst i was at home with the family / or out in the garden

I think Matt's comment is certainly something to consider.

Same here .

I love bank holidays because i dont have that dilema "shall i ,shant i"
I can just take the day off with out feeling guilty or that i am missing something.
I just see it as it is not a working day , so no problems at all.

[carl stanton]

the way i see it some times is every other guy is off with the familly at the zoo [ or where you may wish to go] why should i give myself the headache of all the traffic n that when i can take another day off when it less busy ya get me?

[brett walker]

brett

[carl stanton]

[brett walker]

sorry carl 

but it could rain friday, monday and tuesday

i think some factories close all week, but then they get holiday pay just explain to your customer if we dont work we dont get paid.  Most retail outlets are open anyway

[pjulk]

I have all bank holidays off.
Unless a large job comes in that pays lots of money (dreaming now)

I always take the wife and kids out over bank holiday weekends.
Work can wait.

That pretty much sums up what I was going to say.
Having bank holidays off is having a weekday off and not feeling like it's cost you anything.

Only trouble with Easter is that it means two short weeks.
To be honest I may do a couple of hours friday morning.
But then that's all I do any friday....
