What better a way to celebrate the New Year than with a Bank Holiday - that means at least five hours more sleep, guilt free film watching and wine drinking the night before, an excuse for seeing family or running to the sales, but best of all it means A FOUR DAY WEEK! See us smile!
The bank holiday earnestly began in 1871 when it was first recognised in parliament. It was created by none other than a banker (hence the name bank holiday) called John Lubbock. Legend has it that Mr Lubbock, who was so keen on cricket, choose dates when village matches were in his home county.
In truth UK bank holidays are associated with important religious festival and agricultural holidays.
Last year the host of bank holidays we accumulated was estimated to have cost the UK £30bn! But in the grand scheme of things we dont reckon you can put a price tag on an extra mornings lie in
