Give us a Bank Holiday for Charles’s coronation

[mummybearcub2022]

Wish the government would stop being such a miserable bunch and give us our bank holiday!

[Isaidnoalready]

The amount of complaints they were given for the last bank holiday because of a state funeral? Its no wonder they don't want to do that again

[ZeroFuchsGiven]

why?

[TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross]

What’s this obsession with Bank Holidays? Every time something happens in the country people start hopping up and down demanding them. Just get on with daily life ffs instead of all the weird drama!

[KimberleyClark]

It feels like they’ve deliberately chosen the Saturday after the May Day bank holiday. to get out of giving another bank holiday.

Because it’s nice to have a day off work… why wouldn’t anyone want that.

You realise not everyone gets bank holidays off, yes?

[HappyHappyHermit]

Yes please, always nice to have an extra day with my family at home.

[mummybearcub2022]

Gosh what a miserable country we’ve become, people talking against their own interests and rejecting a bank holiday!

Bank holidays cost the economy millions

[TigerRag]

It's a Saturday and we have a Bank Holiday the Monday before and 4 weeks later. Why do we need another one?

[ZeroFuchsGiven]

The country is in financial shit, the kids have had enough days off.

Yes, most will have it off and some will get a day off a lieu. Only some people have BH tied into their annual holiday allowance. Better to have it than not?

This. There's 2 bank holidays already around the time. Another one isn't necessary.

Incorrect. “Most” people won’t have it off, and the the vast majority of those won’t get it in lieu either.

How naive you are.

Because our head of state is having his coronation? Why would anyone not want an extra day off?

[Mummyme87]

@mummybearcub2022 yes I’m a HCP and get the 7.5hr added to my annual leave allowance for every extra BH we get 🥳

[Untitledsquatboulder]

Truth is, we can't afford it. Take a day of annual leave if you want one.

I think you are naive, most people will be entitled to bank holidays in this country.

[BatshitCrazyWoman]

There's already two bank holidays in May.

Also, I'm not a monarchist, so I have little interest in Charles.

Its on a Saturday, If you are working on that day and want to watch you have plenty time to book a day off.

[happystory]

I don't want one, my employer would be closed as with the funeral, and I don't get paid for Bank Holidays.

Who cares if it’s necessary!

[Sirzy]

I think the timing has been very sensibly chosen to not need to give another bank holiday

[Teeheehee1579]

God no, out very small covid damaged business loses much needed revenue every time there is a bank holiday so please no.
