The Royal Wedding

[THEBOILERMAN]

Its going to be great!

We will have a massive party to celebrate, lots of bunting and food. Good old knees up around the pianah and get very drunk letting of fireworks in the evening...

I also hope all the Jebus house bells ring out and we get a day off, will be fab and I just cant wait.

So bring on Thatchers death day...

As for the f**king wedding.. could not give a rats arse...

I don't really believe that the political theory "fascism" can be represented on an individual basis - though people may have "typically fascist views"

Public Holiday doesn't mean you get it off work though..

I assume it will be up to individual employers if they want to give an extra days entitlment to every employee.

Downing Street announced that the wedding day would be a public holiday in England and Wales. The Scottish Government is still to announce if it will mark it in the same way.

I see the tax payer is still going to pay for a huge chunk of this farce as well

[ampersand]

I've sent the Head an email asking if I can continue teaching my lessons on the day. Cant afford to lose lessons at anytime, let alone that close to the exams.

[rachbon]

Do you not get paid extra for working on them though?

[Paul ™]

Yeah the security, you should be pleased about that.

[Ed209]

no.

[Paul ™]

no.

can I send Willy the frigging bill I'm getting for paying people not to work?

Yeah, we're all in this together. :angry:

You must get to take them at other times of the year then? Cause you have a minimum holiday entitlement nowdays that is 5.6 weeks holiday per year based on working 5 days a week = 28 days. Though those days can include your public/bank holidays.

Most of my non-office mates will either get paid extra for working on bank holidays or have an extra days holiday.

So William and Kate will get married on the same date Hitler did.

Interesting choice for a german

aye they give us the minimum number of holidays they can get away with then add on the 8 days (?) bank holidays. i've always worked full time, 5 days a week though and when i first started, i only had 22 days holiday for my first year, so taking off the bank holidays leaves only 14 days which doesn't seem right.

only a few people are allowed bank holidays off and if you don't get the day off, we don't get paid any extra.

[rachbon]

Last couple full time places I worked, we got about 33-35 days off.. but had to keep some for certain dates ie Christmas etc.

Wed had to work bank holidays (some people were off) but just got the time off in lieu.

Pretty sure the law changed last year to put it up to 28 days per year (based on a 5 day week)

[Paul ™]

our holidays go up every year so i think i had 32 days this year but 22 days in the first year seems quite harsh since that included bank holidays.
