work bank holidays if you want to, if you are worried as to customers reaction - if you get funny looks and complaints - well there is your answer !

Since I optimized my business I have no need to work BH's and even before I would only work them if I was desperate.

Good Friday seems an odd BH to me. I have a good customer who is cleaned 3 weekly on a Friday. Very involved in the local Catholic Church but is happy for me to clean in the regular morning slot.

The other BH's I wouldn't even consider working.

I suppose it depends if it bothers you or you think it may bother your customers.

The Jewish Passover starts Monday 25th in the evening and ends the evening of Tues 2nd April. How do they feel about work being done during their Passover?
Good Friday is 29th March How do customers feel about work being done then?
Dec 25th is Xmas how would you feel about work being done on your home then?

For many Jews/Christians Passover/Holy week is the most important holiday of them all.

well good for you, I wasnt suggesting they would.
I was giving advice to the original poster who was concerned whether to work good friday or not.
I have early morning shop work on fridays so thats all I'll be doing and then going home.

I've noticed one or two of you not happy with us hard working conscientious types working bank holidays.
Is that because you feel like your missing out on a days wage or do you feel a bit guilty for sitting at home?

No it's because we charge sufficient amounts not to have to work them and feel sorry for you.

Thanks for your understanding DG.

I'm only over the hill from you if you need any help optimizing your system and round let me know, I'll show you how we don't have to work Bank Holidays.

BTW there is a City & Guilds in Sheffield, space available for 1 or 2. Are you interested?

Thanks for the offer I generally don't venture that far south but I may take you up on it, I could use all the help I can get.  ;D
I don't think they would allow me on the course, not with my track record.
