My first (and only) reaction is we might get an extra Bank Holiday on the day. Yay !

Oh good. Another day of holiday that will come out of my work allowance without me having any choice.


Is your holiday entitlement not additional (and quite separate) to Bank Holidays ?

This isn't the case for many people - they come as mandated days in the statutory minimum.

Was it Tom Bradby who did the pooled interview with William and Kate?

Don't worry, it ain't happening anyway by the looks of it.

Yes and also it'll be a 'non-traditional' wedding, which is understandable considering the status of the bride. So not a big event like William's but bigger than Charles and Camillas was

Scrooges? Fact is, Harry is now behind Charles, William, George, Charlotte, and Kate's unborn third child in the line of succession. He won't be king, and that's why his wedding doesn't justify a day off work like William's did.
