I did 2 hours today because of a tax bill.
I would have paid it last week, but the bank's wrecked my account.

First time in my life I've worked on a BH, and I begrudged every minute.

Same goes for weekends, never worked one of them either.
Actually I was once asked to work a saturday in a job once, so I resigned. :P

Tough, I'm bored of the Meldrew. ;D

Besides people keep relating me to him as if I'm like him, which was getting annoying. ::)

I sometimes work Bank Holidays but as I did a bit on Saturday and Sunday, I decided to take time off today.  I went with some friends to watch some banger racing.  I was greatly surprised to see that there were no Renault Trafics competing     :)

i was going to work, thought it might help get some more work with more people being off work and that. but then when the sun was out i decided not too, as people would want lie-ins, BBQ's, or will be out - so we'd have only been in the way and annoying to people. so i took the day off. and am likely to most bank holidays once my bike is back on the road...especially my new one. weekends are motorbike time, though im happy to work the occasional saturday or sunday if im behind on work
