It’s got me thinking about whether I prefer a Thursday night bank holiday slurp over the Sunday alternative. I’m quite excited by the Thursday to be honest. | ![](/images/avatars/9026.gif) |

A change is as good as a rest. The good thing about May is that you’ll get the end of the month long weekend for your Sunday slurp so you can experiment on the early month holiday without feeling like you’re losing out. And that’s why we won the war. | ![](/images/avatars/8641.gif) |

The company I work for works Good Friday and has the Tuesday after Easter off an alternative so this really is new territory for me. | ![](/images/avatars/9026.gif) |

If only we were like the Finns or the Spanish who top the Euro league table for public holidays. The Spanish are particularly smart by having them midweek which then entices the ‘fuk it’ phenomenon whereby my team manoeuvre themselves into a five day weekend. | ![](/images/avatars/9026.gif) |

Keep the early May as James Thomas day. Add in St David's day and add in 1st July national Hal Robson-Kanu day. | ![](/images/avatars/9550.gif) |

Some years ago the school where my wife taught at the time was scheduled to undertake a two year trial whereby the school year was divided up into a pattern of five weeks in, one week off, five in, two off and repeat over 4 cycles for the full year. We liked the sound of it immensely as it would have meant cheaper summer holidays in June rather than July and August. Unfortunately the trial was scrapped before it left the drawing board. | ![](/images/avatars/9026.gif) |
