I'm dead against it, in the same way that I don't like Sunday trading and calling Christmas 'xmas' etc. etc..

I think it undermines society, not that it hasn't been undermined already over the last forty years, and I think it looks like those who do work are a bit sad and shold enjoy the time away from work, with other people and try to have something different in thier lives, not more work work work.

The only things working on Sundays and bank hols etc are the emergency services and a cut down tv and radio network.

No, I never work BH's.

Bank holiday today.

Don't be silly.

Post by: windowwashers on May 05, 2008, 05:07:11 pm
I went out today, would not really call it work though more of a total nightmare.

for those who say they dont work because it is wrong, do you ever go in a pub on bank holiday and get served by a non working barman because it is wrong to work on a bank holiday  ::)

If you want to work work!, if you don't want to work don't! each to their own

It's catch 22 - I go to places that are open because it's convenient.  If they were shut I wouldn't go.  If noone went then these places wouldn't turn a profit, and they would close.  In the real world we don't act collectively, we are not sheep, and it doesn't happen.

I'm not saying it's 'wrong', just that I don't like it and its effects, but there's no going back, that's that.  We've lost something of more value that £££.

Yeah, each to thier own, no such thing a society, as someone once said... now, who was that?  ;)

Mr Tumble,

I choose to work when I want that is why I went self employed at a young age and have never looked back, I went to a farm with my kids this morning (they had great fun) I did a little work as I am behind (van broke down)

One day I do not work is Christmas day (by choice and not forced on me)
Bank holiday is just another day to me, I dont like being dictated to, and as I said before I choose when I take time off thats why I work for myself I am not a slave to society, and society and many beliefs I did once hold got smashed to bits from laws of the sad land we call home and the flood gates opened. (flood tonight great 2 part)

There's plenty of room for the self-employed, no problem.  Thank God we're not all at it, though.

Good.  At least it wasn't anything life threatening.  She was still laying on the ground surrounded by people when I left and I hadn't noticed any movement.

Instead of working today, I built a big BBQ and spent the afternoon with friends.

I dream of taking a train to Dawlish and brandishing spades at the sands, eating fish and chips for lunch and coming tired and feeling complete.  Things of the past.... that what I like.  Familiarity, not weirdness.

you nearly almost all work for yourself and it sounds like your mottos are LIVE to WORK (not good)..  i dont work sundays, saturdays, or mondays nevermind bank holidays. a week for crimbo and a lot of family hols in between, your motto should be Work to Live....(thats mine) and i still make a good living..
