As its a leap year heres one for everyone in the uk.

Should Feb 29th be designated as a bank holiday in the UK??

Yes - every year!

I do think schools should be exempt though. They already get far too many holidays

Im all for more holidays. I also think we should work 2 days a week and have 5 off, instead of the other way around.

Dont be daft. Make it the 28th and we will get a holiday every year.

roadrunner · 29-02-08, 06:37 PM

Yeah right

Nice thought though. I want to change the law so whoever wants to can go straight from school to the retirement. Instead of all of them benefits they get now, they would get as much (or little) money our poor pensioners get. How about that.

The teachers may do, but dont tar the poor support staff with too many holidays - I only get 30 days plus my bank holidays

And if you're salaried you're working an extra day for nowt.
