Have you wondered why public holidays in the UK are called ‘bank’ holidays?
I have. So I asked around but nobody really knew (or maybe I was just asking wrong people). But Wikipedia did – you’ve got to love Wikipedia. So, it is so because they are days upon which banks are shut and therefore no other businesses can operate.
Well, now they can, but before they couldn’t.
To me bank holiday means an extra day to finish off my assignments. Although it starts to look like I will need a miracle, cause until now I seem to have been rather more interested in organising my medicine drawer and dusting all I could find that needed dusting than in Gifted and Talented policies or assessment for learning.
