For the next month or so we are enjoying a frequency of public holidays usually only enjoyed by our continental brethren. Read 'em and weep.
22/04 - Good Friday
25/04 - Easter Monday
29/04 - Royal wedding
02/05 - Early May bank holiday
30/05 - May bank holiday
Read 'em and weep :bowler: :cool:
I have:
21/4 - 22/4 - 17/5
No May Day this year. :cry:
Also, the royal wedding is a public holiday? For shame, for shame... When our crow prince married, he did so on a weekend!
I have
April 22nd
then...June 24th!
Unless I'm wrong, us Amurrikans only get Monday, May 30th for the next several weeks. Memorial Day.

No shit. I was going to burn time for Good Friday and Easter Monday, but too much to do on Monday.
I do think it's pretty funny that, as much of a God-fearing nation as we supposedly are and with all the Bible-thumping rah rahs the GOPtards do, the only recognized religious-related holiday we get on the national level is Christmas.
We get the Easter Monday and 3rd of May off (normally we also get 1st of May but this year it falls on a Sunday :().
Then the next I think is Corpus Christi in June (Pentecost is also an official holiday, but since it always falls on a Sunday, it just adds to aggravation because it is a Sunday where you can't go shopping :P).
Eater's about the only day other than Christmas that most shops shut here, even supermarkets.
Four day week, three day week, four day week. Thanks, privileged Royal scumbags :)
Edit: Though this will probably be the trigger for double-dip recession :(

Yeah. Poland also is not much better, considering with are Catho-tards. We get Epiphany (but that was introduced only this year and is probably a bad idea, since it will further reduce productivity during the late December/early January), Easter Monday (not Friday - unlike a lot of much more secular nations, which get both), Corpus Christi, All Saints and two days of Christmas (not counting the ones that fall on a Sunday).
Other than that, our holidays include New Year, 1st of May (Labour Day), 3rd of May (Constitution Day), 15th of August (Military Day, although it is also Asumption day so theoretically could count as a religious holiday) and 11th of November (Independence Day).

Holy Thursday, Holy Friday and a regional holiday.
I'll take those days off so I can feel British. :)
I'll wear a wifebrater and go steal a bike and some cellphones. :)

We have religious holidays by the bucketload over here, even if the country is increasingly non-religious.

25/04 Easter Monday
nothing in May (01/05 is on Sunday this year)
02/06 Ascension of Jesus
13/06 Pentecost
23/06 Corpus Christi
After that there's nothing until October.

I'll get all sweaty in a hoodie. :(
We don't 'officially' get Good Friday off, but lots of people take the day off and the rest usually do nothing and leave early. :)
Same goes for the Friday before Derby.... which is a Kentucky-only thing, of course.
I'm thinking of attending the Derby. And not in the white trash section either.
I've actually never been. :blush:
I've been to a couple of races at Churchill Downs, just not that one. I'll probably go to Oaks at some point--that's the one on Friday that alot of people take off work to go see. It's not as crazy since nobody outside of the locals cares about it.

You don't get Victoria Day? A lack of respect for your sovereign. :mad:

We do. I just forgot. Quebec calls it Patriot Day too.
Thursday, Friday and the Monday after Easter are public holidays here. Since I have worked a lot of overtime recently, I have this whole week off. :hug:

We are allowed to leave at 2 p.m. subject to the requirements of the service. I remember, as a junior, having to stay in the office on my own until 10 p.m. on the Good Friday as we were submitting some court files. <_<

I'm working through the royal wedding for a day in lieu.
We get another royal bank holiday next year too, for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. I'm far less republican than I used to be....
