Could somebody tell me what the FUCK is the point of going on holiday when EVERYBODY ELSE is going at the same time? Reminds me of that old Talmudic conundrum, "Do mosquitoes go to heaven?" Aaarrghh!

You think there's a point to any British tradition? You haven't been here long, have you?

do you realise we get THREE less bank hols than our european neighbours, any suggestions for days to be added? note "my birthday" is a bad answer ;)

Why would we want a bank holiday on your birthday Steve - you communist hippy. September 6th though, that has a nice ring to it.

thirteen years pass...

What is public transport like on Bank Boliday Mondays these days?

If I make plans to get from Oxford to Bristol by late morning/noonish, will it all end in tears (train delays, coaches too full to let me on) or regrets (standing jammed into someone's armpit in front of the toilet door all the way with a big pile of luggage I have to shuffle around every station and every time someone wants the loo)?
