Public holiday - State funeral

[Munroast]

Already booked up to work so going to be difficult to take the day off.

I assume you dont take christmas off ?

do you only work bank holidays? the rest of the time you seem to be on here.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

Yes. Do you?

are you religious ?

 

[carmanmemoranda]

He'll answer with another question...

if people answer a simple question there would be no need to go round in circles to get to the position.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

Either that or he'll swerve it.

Pot. Black. Kettle

Self employed, and you ?

I passed from the palace the other day and overheard a woman saying that she'd brought some expensive flowers for the queen.
Then she was saying how her mother would've liked to go, but she's in a retirement home.
She carried on saying that she had not seen her for over a year.
The hypocrisy!
She doesn't care about her own mother and then she brings flowers to someone she never met.
FFS!

Sickening and sounds fake but sadly it's too believable.

Do businesses have to pay workers for the day, like they do other bank holidays?

If they do it could be hard for some employers.

Many employers will ignore it.

Hopefully we won't get the death threats this time - like those issued to some businesses because they chose to stay open on Diana, Lady Spencer's funeral day.

I doubt it, its an official bank holiday, whether you like it, or not

I'm taking it as a mark of respect. Easy to say that though - I'm a pensioner! When I worked full time I'd have taken it, despite losing a day's money

I'm not particularly fussed about the change in our Monarch. I'll probably watch the ceremony though.

At least then the radio stations can stop just playing Adel and Snow Patrol on loop.

So, will all the anti-monarchists on here be taking the day off

From what, whining and bitching? Let's hope so. If you mean work, well hmmmm.

On ClassicFM it's Abide With Me. Always reminds me of Cup Final day.

Abide with Me always makes me feel like cuttig my ears off or slashing my wrists to get away from it! Such a dreary, monotonous dirge

So, will all the anti-monarchists on here be taking the day off for the funeral or will they be sticking to their principals and working through?

I often work on public holidays, does that make me an anti-monarchist.
What about the emergency services, are they anti-monarchists?
What about all the essential workers, are they all anti-monarchists?

You do talk some daft rubbish sometimes.
