Right, that's it. I propose a ban on Bank Holidays.

If I don't get them, I don't see why anyone else should.

Most specifically, the people who work in Sainsbury's.

I'm out of milk.

I head off to Sainsbury's at 8:30pm because, naturally, it's a Monday and on Mondays Sainsbury's is open until 10pm.

Half way to the cash machine, I remember that this Monday is a 'special' Monday. By which I mean, no-one but Cambridge students, doctors and air traffic controllers have to work properly (OK, and maybe a few others). Therefore Sainsbury's shuts at 6pm, which, of course, was two and a half hours ago and therefore Eni still has no milk.

There is one upside to this.

Tomorrow Eni gets to have coffee and Madeira cake for breakfast.
This is good, as it also overcomes the problem of Eni needing a caffeine kick for the exam, but being unable to stomach coffee first thing is she's had milk with breakfast.

So perhaps it was a blessing in disguise? Meh. Bleurgh.

Those of us at sensible colleges can buy milk from the bar on our Hall accounts. We can also get hobnobs, jaffa cakes and thai curries. ::is smug::

So in England you have Memorial Day, too? I had to work because now I work for the tourist industry, YAY. :(

Actually it's the start of Pentecost. England is an officially Christian nation, we get the religious holidays.

Sweet. What a coincidence. Sorry for assumming - I figured since both countries were in WWII we might as well both have Memorial Day, LOL.

The bank holiday means supermarket no open. :(
Supermarket no open mean Oblivion have no food. :(
Oblivion have no food mean we have to decamp to Churchill Hall. :(
Then we got drunk with Churchillians. :)

There's a silver lining to every cloud. It's often 40% proof.

You will love bank holidays when you start working full time-its more time off. Also i get double pay on bank holidays which is always a good thing!
