But it's NOT JUST ONE POXY DAY OFF...is it ??? It gives a run of 4 days off in England and Wales and 3 on the bounce in Scotland at a time many health experts believe the spread of the virus is on the wane !

This could be of strategic importance to the country and I certainly could be done with a few days off !!!

You will still only be gaining 1 extra day if it were to happen , not 3 or 4 so pointless .

An extra day off is pointless?

If RM offered to credit you A/L with 8 hours would you say, "no thanks, it's pointless".?

Your missing the point . In the grand scheme of things 1 day off changes nothing .We have been working through this pandemic for weeks and will continue regardless of having a day off.
