Would much prefer a new BH in July or Sept. Far longer days, decent weather and would be good to get away for a weekend. If Sept it could fall on the International break too which would be a good long weekend esp for an away.

Feb is a sh*te month for it, still dark early in the evening, baltic miserable weather. Financially just getting back on track after Xmas before Valentines hits. Shortest month of the year too so it goes by that bit quicker anyway.

The move to an 18 week season hasn't really suited you so!

Same here. I've been in the office since day one as a designated essential worked so welcome any additional day off. Like HB, we were all given an extra days leave last year too.
We didn’t get an official extra days leave but during the first lockdown, in order to keep numbers in the place to a minimum, we were all paid to stay at home on certain days. I got about 15 days sofa pay around that time so cant really complain.

Be nice to have a long, long weekend in March!

Nice to have an extra bank holiday too going forward, but not too excited about the proposal. Don't think it should have had any religious connections to be honest but mainly don't think it should have been at such a miserable time of year!

Either way, extra day off Clap

Pain in the hole that it will rotate day each year. Same with Paddy's Day. It was brilliant when they moved it to June for a one off due to foot and mouth years ago. 

A poxy Tuesday/Wednesday in March some years Dead

It's just the closest Monday to the day, think it's a good time for it, a long stretch between New year and Paddy's 

That's grand if it is indeed the case. Doubt they even know themselves. Winging it.

Would prefer a double holiday in March.

No sense in a rotating day either. Fix it for a Monday if it needs to be February.
