4 day weekend

#AbolishRepublicism

Long may she live #QueenElizabethII

My dd is delighted. She’ll be able to add two more days to her maternity leave.

Who wants to celebrate a woman with a £20 million crown on her head amid austerity poverty food banks continue increasing.

Really need an edit button - tacking on an extra day!

Sorry 4 days not 5

Moving the late May one to June and tacking on two extra days. What is the point of that?
A lot of lost work hours for many companies, shutting down for 5 days instead of the usual 3. But still having to pay wages, not something they will want after this last 18 months.

Looks like lots of the usual parades etc planned to happen in London.

I'm in Scotland and I'm looking forward to the celebrations for the Queen. Already planning a garden party for our neighbours. It's nice to have something positive like this on the horizon.

As we don’t know what winter holds and communities are still unable and reticent to mix this would be a lovely occasion to plan get togethers. I know if I was working I’d love a four day weekend!

What’s not to like?

A boost for the hospitality industry, extra time to spend with friends and family, I think it’s a bright idea ???‍?‍?‍??‍?‍?‍??‍?‍?‍?

Apparently there is going to be a 4 day weekend next summer to mark the Queen’s platinum jubilee with street parties etc.

I can’t help feeling nobody give a stuff. Certainly not here in Scotland.

I respect her but hope she is the last to rein over us in this neck of the woods.

What do you think?

I don’t think you speak for all in Scotland, certainly not the people I know who haven’t given Sturgeon house room, or a vote. Guess you won’t be having 4 days off then.

I tend to support anything that brings communities together for a good purpose and I hope that this will generate a lot of neighbourliness.

I’m assuming that those who ‘don’t give a stuff’ will go to work as usual.

What's not to like? You might feel that people don't give a stuff in Scotland- are you in a Position to speak for those in your ' neck of the woods'.

Everyone loves a long weekend don’t they?
