The car is on the drive, and that's where it will stop until the bank holiday is over. :)

Is it a bank holiday this week? I have just lunchtime to go and am off this weekend anyway. Monday is back to normal, except we charge more...

[maggiebee]

Bank holiday - what bank holiday? Oh, you're English.

[pixie374]

Do you not have one, Maggie? I thought the Scottish had extra ones?

[aelmpvw]

well done teacake, only another 16,499,999 left to get stuck in a traffic jam

[teacake44]

Add a heat wave to a bank holiday, and ohooooo dear.

[maggiebee]

We have local holidays pixie, but not called Bank Holidays. Maybe banks do close, would have to check, but for schools, local authority departments, stores etc it's business as usual.

[pixie374]

Thanks, Maggie x

[pixie374]

Everything is still open here, as usual- except banks. On religious bank holidays, the hours may be slightly shorter though.

[maggiebee]

Unlike the rest of United Kingdom, most bank holidays are not recognised as statutory public holidays in Scotland, as most public holidays are determined by local authorities across Scotland.

[teacake44]

Banks are closing every day here. :)

[maggiebee]

You're right teacake - here too. Went into an area of Dundee which used to have 4 banks looking for a cash machine. All closed - had to drive a few miles to find one. Quite sad.

Thanks, again, Maggie. They are, teacake, although with so much online banking, that isn't surprising. Our local one does seem to open and shut spasmodically through the week.

All our main supermarkets have cash machines. None where you live, maggiebee?

Just off to get a bit of fresh fish and Ink cartridges and I will be doing the same until Tuesday Teacake. Roads will be chokka here all weekend(N.Wales.) and the restaurants and watering holes rammed. No fun at all. The weather looks good, so sit in the garden and gargle in peace with the sport on.

[teacake44]

12.14, Get some fresh squid, ink is free.

[teacake44]

Oh dear, North Wales, I wonder how many bikers they will be scraping off the tarmac.

Did you know Christmas Day is not a bank holiday in England and Wales, but it is in Scotland.

[teacake44]

Going on what I've been told, its Christmas day every day in Scotland. Cheers!!
