  1. Stick one in July please. Feck it. Stick them both in July.

  2. Can we have 364?. I don’t want to be greedy, I’ll work that one day

  3. Got excited by headline, then saw who is proposing it, quickly realized it doesn’t have a snowballs.

  4. I propose that they propose a 4 day week. It’s about time.

  5. >PEOPLE BEFORE PROFIT is bringing forward legislation to introduce two extra bank holidays.

    Some melt is going to be along and call everyone evil for agreeing with this 🤦

  6. Pity it won’t go anywhere as it is a PBP bill but fair ple to them for consistency anyway.

    Funnily enough, this is something that would likely win favour with restaurants, publicans, and hoteliers. Some dream team if they all came together for it!

  7. Make weekends great again.

    For a four day week and a three day bender.

  8. 4 day week (and not just for the public sector) and the 2 extra bank holidays

  9. That’s nice but we really just want wages that match inflation and fair & affordable housing.

  10. One in July, one around the middle or end of September

  11. Can we get a hospitality bank holiday? Bank holidays just mean more really busy days for retail and hospitality with no extra days off

  12. The last Monday in September would be great it can be a tough month with children back to school etc. September always feels very long.

  13. What about the time they promised extra pay for nurses during covid then just added a bank holiday in February . Government don’t or ever will give a fuck about ordinary people

  14. Both in July, give us all a 4 day weekend in the summer. 3 day session followed by 1 days rest

  15. Yes, please and I don’t care what month they fall in.

  16. Sure we’ll just go to a 4 day week. Also keep the bank holidays to make them 3 day weeks!

  17. I’m pro extra public holidays and days off in general, but I really hate calling them “bank” holidays. Can we just call them long weekends or jammy days instead?

  18. Lash them on then look at increasing peoples holiday entitlements
