Three Bank Holidays in May?

Including two weeks running? For pity's sake! Just move the one on the 1st to the 8th if we need one for the Coronation.

You cant do that becasue its always first monday in may and events are planned for these dates well in advance.

Wasn't there something about counting votes in localbelections?

'You cant do that because its always first Monday in may and events are planned for these dates well in advance.'It's more than six months away and you just move them back a week.The moving of the May Day bank holiday to Friday quite recently was done at the same sort of notice.

"..you just move them back a week"Easier said than done.

But the bank holidays are in stone a year in advance. Events start organising straight after one has finished for the next year.With all that going on in the world what day and how many bank holidays we have is just not worth worrying about.

The way things are in this chaotic and sh*thouse of a country, every day will soon be a bank holiday.

As it is - without the BH for the Coronation - these are too bunched up together at the moment, coming as they do not that long after Easter each year. About time all BHs were reviewed especially so one could be put in in the Autumn. It's a long old haul from August until Christmas.

Agree Vanessa. Sadly at the moment this will be way down  the priority list
