So cop for this then.
We've had a royal double bank holiday to celebrate an institution that very few people give a fuck about.

We're about to have a festival of running fast which, again, the majority of the UK population don't give a fuck about.

My proposal - the "It's Stopped Raining" event. The day that no-one in this septic Isle gets wet - should be a spontaneous holiday.

Evening TD
It's a nice idea, but entirely impractical.
This actually applies to the two real events in your post too.

Practicalities and dogma are in my work life
Can't I be a bit presumptious?

You run your own business don't you?
You'll soon change your view on bank holidays the more employees you get.
Presume away.

Sole trader
And will always be a sole trader - that's my structure.

I love most Bank Holidays because I'm the only person in my sector locally who will work them. I object to an entire country being closed down for an assumption that we're subservient to the monarchy.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 12 Jul 2012, 21:59, Reply)

Fair enough
As an employee I love a bit of extra paid holiday, as long as we continue to compel pub and supermarket staff to work these days.
What has happened to evening threads, eh? BGB sinks into lolmentalness, Jeff gets himself a bird, we pick up a couple of odd bods and it all dies a slow death.

Didn't know that Jeff was XB.

Last time I was I disappeared off here for a long time. Maybe - a sort of hope - he won't come back, in a positive way.

EDIT - I will be here rather less after next week, as we get the boat onto it's moorings on Wednesday.

Good luck with the boat. Hope it goes well.

Jesus,

Worth it, though. Need to keep up the momentum or things tend to grind to a halt. I speak from car restoration experience rather than boats but the principle remains the same.
