A day off for £6bn?

As August comes to a close there isn’t even a day off to look forward to for nearly four months because we’ve just had the last bank holiday till Christmas. But there is hope at hand; a leading think tank is strongly recommending that we get a day for Heroes in November:

What do you think? Surely we should commemorate those who deserve to be remembered? And we want more bank holidays don’t we (especially as the Europeans seem to have hundreds)? Also, the story suggests the obligatory holiday for employees is going from 20 days to 28…some good news at last!

The Italians get loads of holiday and France take the whole of August off (as well as teachers and MP's) - NOT FAIR!
