catgate Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Although the government has not yet signalled its idea of including another bank holiday in the year, by extending the year to 366 days (achieved by shortening hours to 58.25 minutes each) it is not far away. When this does occur which additional bank holiday would you favour?1) St. Pancras day2) St Tony's day3) St. Bernard's day4) St Labrador's day5) St Blind dog for a little old lady with a wooden leg's day6) St Doris Twonk's day7) Half past six Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 I think I would go for number 7 catgate as long as it was before three o'clock in the PM as I normally have a break about then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchful Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 I would name it after No. 8) St. Vitus as we could do with some protection against storms (synonymous with Bank Holidays), and being led a merry dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchful Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 St. Arnold (according to those in the know) was noted for his charity. I'm sure that's very apt for you tankus unless your talkin' in that rhyming way that prevails in parts of Londonstani? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
