Mr Cameron made his comments about a possible bank holiday to mark the occasion while appearing before the House of Commons Liaison Committee, saying the idea was "a debate we ought to have".

 

He added: "If it's in the middle of the week it'd be a very good idea to have a bank holiday, and even if it's at the weekend."

From the Mash:

 

Royal engagement newspaper bullshit round-up:

 

Each and every one us will be deeply affected by the looming royal marriage... (Peter Oborne, Daily Telegraph)

 

In an important sense, this betrothal has far more to teach a new generation about relationships - and fidelity, too. (Bel Mooney, Daily Mail)

 

For Kate and William, their engagement has profound national significance. They will help form our collective imagination. They are now part of what we are as a nation, how we define ourselves as individuals. (Peter Oborne, Daily Telegraph)

 

As somebody whose business it is to study the human heart.. (Bel Mooney, Daily Mail - she actually wrote those words)

 

Today we are wiser and perhaps more humane. The unrealistic expectations that destroyed Charles and Diana have gone. (Peter Oborne, Daily Telegraph - he's playing a blinder)

 

It is rare these days that we glimpse broad sunlit uplands, but this is one such moment. (Daily Telegraph editorial - sweet fucking Jesus)

 

And the winner is (obviously)...

 

Diana, the bride at every royal funeral and the mourner at every royal wedding, was present in more than just the engagement ring which sat so heavily on the hand of this young woman who must now walk a mile in her bloodied shoes, on a road leading who knows where. (Julie Burchill, The Independent)

The public holiday will cost the economy £2.9 billion apparently. Or 1/25th of Ireland.

 

But the wedding will bring in Billions and boost tourism thanks to the Royal Family, do you know how much they add to the economy.....blah blah blah bullshit bullshit bullshit

So what's the script for your bank holidays folks? Are you getting them? Getting the extra day but working it anyway? (i'm hoping for this option, get in the office, turn off the radio and stay the fuck away from the BBC website) or not getting it at all?

Probably be off, but happy to work if need be.  My preferred option is either up a mountain in the middle of no where or in a pub-with-no-tvs for the day.

Probably spend it revising tbh and probably avoiding the tv.
