Bank Holidays are when British people all take the day off work at the same time, usually a Monday and the whole country gets wankered for the entire long weekend.

I flew with Qantas and couldn't fault them, apart from the cunt who was on the check-in desk in Adelaide. Cost me around £800 with a stop in Singapore on the way, booked it through the flight centre too. Like Pukka says the website is gash but the staff at the one in Edinburgh anyway are really helpful. Sure there is one in Adelaide.

I once made the mistake of going out on a Sunday, thinking it was a bank holiday the next day. It wasn't. I turned up at work after 3 phone calls asking where the fuck I was, and spent the day praying to the porcelain Gods. I'm not young anymore...

lol @ forgetting you had work on monday big J..


steve-o, you been to london/england/europe before?... if your here for august bankholiday, not only is there a fairly good chance that it will be warm, but youve also got nottinghill carnival.. (not to be missed)

Wasn't so much forgetting, I just assumed that because all my mates were off that I was off too. Turned out the company worked bank holidays, and you could use the days towards your own holidays. It was my first job after graduating, which is the same excuse I used at the time.

This may be true but if there is something going down for the 5th birthday, it's not gonna be happening a month early !

[pukkabruv]

he could do both, theres no point flying for 24 hours each way for less than 4~5 weeks.. well.. I wouldnt anyway.. but then I like my long holidays... touch down in london on the friday before bankholiday, then see a few other places, berlin, the dam, barca before heading back to blighty for the end of september & ssdb 5th birthday celebrations, fly home the following day.
