  • Considering I charge my clients a daily rate and therefore don't get paid if I can't work, I hope not! Trivial event anyway.

    no, we'll probably have to work extra to raise the tax to pay for the wedding...I'm so not looking forward to the months of hysteria about it either, totally boring, cretinous and irrelevant event

    Is this what this country has come to, jubilation at the chance of a day off?

  • They'll probably get married on a Saturday, so unlikely for many of us.

    They'll have a special bank holiday next year for it almost certainly. Its the wedding of the future king and queen of this country so I think they will make a big event out of it. Even if the wedding is on the Saturday they will give us the Monday off work. The few royal events that almost certainly give us bank holidays are; the monarch's jubilee, the monarch coronation, a future kings wedding and the funeral of the monarch.

    It should be a good summer!

    There was a bank holiday for Charles and Diana's mid-week wedding back in '81.

    I was watching the news today and they said the main story tonight is (i was thinking not more bad news???) then they said the wedding of Will and Kate. It is nice for there to be good news for a main story for once. If there is a holiday next year enjoy it, go to the pub watch some dvds. i know i will be watching it if its on tv.

    Good luck to them.
