It would damage this forums' reputation

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.

I've taken the first Monday of Feb off every year. It coincides with the Sunday of the SuperBowl so lets me stay up late that night, and it's a nice 4 day week to break up a bleak time of year. Wake up late, out for lunch, feet up on the couch. Great date for it

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

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.

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.

Great news about the new bank holiday from next year and extra day they are giving this year on the Friday after Paddy's day.

Regarding Feb Bank Holiday moving forward, does anyone know if it will be the 1st of Feb every year or would be the first Monday? It sounds like it will he 1st of Feb each year meaning it might fall in midweek some years. 

Would much prefer if it was the first Monday so we are guaranteed a long weekend

Yeah, would prefer it to be first Monday of February instead of the 1st of Feb. 

One thing which which always annoys me about St. Patrick's day is the if it falls midweek

I thought I heard them saying it would be the first Monday in February.
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

it will be the first Monday in February, unless the 1st February falls on a Friday, in which case it will be the Friday.

St Brigid's Day so to celebrate Mná na hÉireann. There's been lobbying to have it on that day for the last few years.

That is sensible! Happy with that. Long weekend in the canaries / city break to end the Janaury blues will be the way forward
