Could you imagine if all workers had the attitude of some window cleaners and no one turns up for work for four days cause it might look desperate!
No petrol stations, no local shops for your bread n milk or cigs for some people.
No where but public parks etc open and thats if youve got the fuel to get there n back because everywhere is shut down as no on wants to look desperate working during the holiday.
Really, some of the comments make me chuckle.
There was a time before trad that i used to work every bank holiday. They were just normal days to me but since going wfp im able to take these days off much to the joy of my family. Now regardless if im running behind or not, I like to spend time with my family which is more important. Ive learnt the hard way that sometimes your family can be taken away from you.
