    Looks like a topic for the Site Feedback forum.
    MSE posts the thread first then the OP spends a minute or two typing up and going through the polling options.

    No. I'm sensible and booked a day's leave.

    Lucky you!

    Quite a few companies, especially retail, ban a/l over the festive period! Not that it bothers me as I do early shifts!!

    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    I haven't been out for about 10 years on NYE- too expensive, just a rip off. Who cares.

    I am but I don't mind. Going to work on Wednesday is a pain though. The Scottish are a funny bunch ;) but that's one thing they've got right.
