your exactly i the same boat as me.

your entitled to bank holidays(monday)
as you dont work these anyways you book them as holiday during your work days.

Basic Holiday entitlement is the same for everyone and is not dependant on hours worked (except of course when you are on holiday you only get paid your basic weekly wage) 4 weeks is the minimum but you can purchase extra amount to bring it up to 6 weeks.

If your day off is a bank holiday you are entitled to have if back on another day, again this happens for everyone. It also happens if your holiday week falls when there is a bank holiday, a lot of senior posties use this to gain an extra week off over the whole year.
