This is not a good way to start the week. I just got e-mail to say that we won't be getting the extra day's bank holiday next year for the Queen's Jubilee. So, everyone else will be off work on 3rd and 4th June, and we will be expected to be here, even though we won't be able to phone other people because they won't be at work. I just investigated my contract to see if they can really get away with this, but since it just says "there are 9 public holidays in the year", I am no wiser. What of when there are more than 9? I wasn't here for the Millennium holiday, but I'll try and find out if they got that one...

Oh, and people telling me that I am not a Royalist and so shouldn't care *really* don't get it. I'm not a Christian, but I don't turn down Xmas and Easter holidays...
