Ive just had to call...
...my apartment's letting agent:

ME: {pleasantries}
HER: {pleasantries} So what can I do for you?
ME: We received your letter yesterday, notifying us of a property inspection on the 5th of April. I'm afraid we may have an issue with it.
HER: Sorry to hear it - what's the problem?
ME: April 5th is a Bank Holiday.
HER: Oh.

Describing it as ignorance is probably a bit harsh, I admit. She seemed like a very nice girl. I guess maybe not everyone has the days where they don't have to get up and go to work etched indelibly into their memory like I do. Why anyone wouldn't is a mystery to me though. I live for those days - not because I hate my job, but because I hate getting up earlier than 10am.

I don't take bank holidays
So I couldn't have told you April 5th was one of them. Unless I'd thought about it and realised it was Easter weekend.

I get paid double if I work on bank holidays
So I work every one that I possibly can (except for 1^st January - I will NEVER work on 1^st January).
