Bank holidays…. All you christaians that work on Bank holidays,are hypocrites, tell your
managers and bosses your not working, see what the result will be….. But dont worry, we
have on this site people who just welcome the unemployed with open arms….lolwhy am i a hypocrite ?…………the lord said thou shalt not work on the sabbath ………yet the vicar gets paid to hold his sermons !………maybe instead of preaching to the rest of us you should look deeper within at youre self and youre own faith as far as i am aware there is no god of ganga ! May i remind you some people are not able to take time off for bank holidays nurses, policemen,firemen,soilders….im sure if i could be botherd i could find a few more.
if you wish to hold youre sunday school then maybe you should learn more about the christian faith and look into the gosples that never made the bible the ones that state you do not need to be in a house of god to worship him for he is all around you !
as for buisness closing for bankholidays under the law maybe next time you drive by a petrol station or corner shop on
2 April, 2010 at 7:23 am #431476ooo me ramble got cut off !……i was going to say next time to drive by the petrol station or corner shop on easter sunday and christmas day you can pop in and ask them why arnt they closed……….there are laws covering the opening times of buisness but as far as i am aware it is simple the buisness must close down for at least 2 bank holidays these are chosen by the buisness normally easter sunday and christmas are chosen as they are within the longer holiday period .

I wondered why i couldnt get petrol in my mountain bike…lol2 April, 2010 at 8:50 am #431478Bank Holidays …. a Bank Holiday is a a public holiday but there is no automatic right to the time off.
Many years ago the Bank of England used to have dozens of days when the closed for religious festivals and Saints days but these were drastically reduced to just a few.
I think it also had something to do with cricket. :D

Well said Pete…maybe we should start chopping hands off those who steal seen as they love their laws so much.
2 April, 2010 at 2:11 pm #431483Methinks you missed the point altogether
i think he did to pete :roll:
and just to remind you gaz the christain faith is one of tolerance we are treated to respect other peoples faiths therefore we treat everyone including athiests as equals !
Why sould non christians have the same rights as christians
The same reason muslims,hindus,buddists,jahova whitness, jews, satanists have the same rights as christians ,britain is not run by the church therefore in the eyes of the law everyone is equal !!!!
2 April, 2010 at 2:22 pm #431484Just googled the cricket aspect of Bank Holidays……. hehehe :D
Prior to 1834, the Bank of England observed about thirty-three saints’ days and religious festivals as holidays, but in 1834, this was reduced to just four: 1 May, 1 November, Good Friday, and Christmas Day. In 1871, the first legislation relating to bank holidays was passed when Liberal Politician and Banker, Sir John Lubbock introduced the Bank Holidays Act 1871 which specified the days ….] Sir John was an enthusiastic supporter of cricket and was firmly of the belief that bank employees should have the opportunity to participate in and attend matches when they were scheduled. Included in the dates of bank holidays are therefore dates when cricket games were traditionally played between the villages in the region where Sir John was raised. The English people were so thankful that they called the first Bank Holidays ‘St. Lubbock’s Days’ for awhile.
