Coronation date is set for Saturday. And the big question is that an extra bank holiday not? I'm guessing not, move the current one from the 1st to the 5th of May.
Either day, Friday or Monday will mess with the exam diet. Music Friday or design tech and German on Monday.
After working the last one while the rest of the country got to r̶i̶d̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶i̶r̶ ̶b̶i̶k̶e̶s̶ grieve at home, I hope not. Bank holidays (except maybe Christmas) should be scrapped and the days added to annual leave.
My wife got a day added to her annual leave allowance for the funeral. I'm guessing the same again.
A Saturday? How can I get a day off work now. I'm outraged
Ah, a good day to ride my bike.
I hope so as I’ll get an extra holiday added to my annual leave.
Folk will be pissed off if they move the May 1st one. There will be loads of people who’ve already booked long weekends.
I’m guessing no extra holiday.
Thank goodness they've managed to fit it in around Eurovision.
Sounds like it'll likely clash with the Steel City Downhill, so I'll have to miss it. But if it is a Saturday, it'll unlikely be an extra bank holiday, surely?
I’m sure there will be a bank holiday on the Monday, how on earth can true patriots celebrate appropriately with fighting and alcohol poisoning if they don’t have an extra day to recover?
Plus the news said the politicians favour an extra bank hol according to the news… I guess it might distract from the piss poor performance of the govt for a morning
I don’t care, I’ll be in Fort William for the SSDT.
As long as it doesn’t affect the last day!
& I only work 2 days a week on an annualised hours contract so bank holidays don’t come into my equations anyway.
Meh.
Well, June 3rd is my birthday and the previously suggested date, so I'm disappointed that I won't be getting a(nother) long weekend off for nowt.

This. My wife works in hospitality so very rarely gets BHs off. It’s her birthday that week and we’ve both booked the week off. As she gets 36 days per year as opposed to my 25 plus banks we have to be very careful how we plan to maximise our time together and losing that early May BH would mean me working over Xmas. First world problems, I know, but still a problem for me.
Will there be chicken? If not I'm not interested.
Forest will be nice and quiet that day - hurray!
I doubt there'll be an additional BH.

And all the calendar and diary printers will have a whinge - again. Nah, let em get it done on the Saturday - I'll be doing my usual royal bike ride somewhere.
Gutted no additional day off 🙁 Scap BH's, why on earth would you do that!! What a misery
Will there be chicken?
Coronation Sausage
Complete waste of taxpayers money.
Just waiting for BC to announce that cycling will be banned....
…but driving a gas-guzzlers will be encouraged.
They had better not move my annual birthday bank holiday!
Bank holidays (except maybe Christmas) should be scrapped and the days added to annual leave
My employer has just done that very thing
Charlie Sausage Fingers. Like Edward Scissorhands but with more inbreeding.
Just waiting for
BCShell to announce that cycling will be banned….
FTFY
Got to get in before the revolution, when the whole rotten bunch get their P45's and join the housing waiting list.
Three bank hol Mondays in May? No chance!
Should have stuck with the favourite rumour of June 3rd.
No wonder he has trouble with pens.
Must be something to do with his German ancestry
He has the wurst hands.
Same day as the FA cup final isn’t it ?
Wonder what the thinking behind that is ?
I might cycle down to London again, gawp at the crowds, and then find a nice cafe, and then cycle back again.
Worked well for the Jubilee, busted achilles for funeral (a true Royalist believer would have done it anyway).
Same day as the FA cup final isn’t it ?

Its probably not that big a concern - for all the noise football generates in the press, even when theres non being played, you'd think football was more popular. But the audience for the FA Cup Final these days is about 6 million compared to a royal wedding or funeral at 26-30 million
It would be a bigger deal in viewing terms if the coronation clashed with an episode of Call the Midwife
EDIT The FA cup audience is pretty much the same size as for an episode of Coronation Street (but only because soap viewing numbers have taken a bit of a tumble)
Its probably not that big a concern
Would it be an issue for the police if they have to manage the FA Cup and a coronation?
FA cup final is June 3rd. Was the original favourite date for the Coronation but they've then chosen May 6th.
It's an encouragement for us all.Those tough enough to survive this winter, get to celebrate the inbred rich. Don't know what your all moaning about.You English forlock tuggers should be grateful.
The first pic from maccruiskeen looks like something from spitting image.
Waiting to hear one of my republican friends complaining if we don't get a bank holiday.
Clashes with FLABs Big Fat Bike Ride out of Ilkley, I know which I'm choosing.
Bank holidays (except maybe Christmas) should be scrapped and the days added to annual leave.
Pretty standard in Scotland, at least at the companies/organisations I've worked.
Current employer the only 'fixed' days are 25th/26th December & 1st/2nd January (or equivalent week days).
Coronation Sausage then?
I think they should print a picture of his hands on all the money to encourage us all to go cashless.
So my initial prediction was wrong, additional bank holiday on Monday the 8th of May.
Of with there heads!
Fully expected 1st May BH to be moved, to get an extra, third BH in May is quite a shock! 😮
No one will have a job by then anyway…
My rota has me in on the 8th, fingers crossed for double bubble and a day in lieu 🤞
Of with there heads!
The little known Steinbeck novel.
Those of us with Sunday / Monday weekend are yet again jumping up and down with joy.
My day off is once again being invaded by all you Saturdayers.
My prediction was 100% wrong.
It will be another day's lost income for (most) self employed contractors.
