    Not everyone is off today. There is a window of 30 day within which the day must be taken.


    Also I think we should be more than entitled to these two days a year as we recieve no bonuses whatsoever at the end of the year unlike the private sector and in most cases we do not recieve overtime pay for working longer than the requried working week we just get time off in lieu.

    agreed that these days are very much a hangover from the old days. There is really no need for them anymore.

    But as they have been around for so long they would form part of the terms and conditions of work for the employees, so you can't just get rid of them, without breaching employment law.

    As part of civil service reform, they will hopefully get the chop, but they are a small piece of a very large reform pie

    Nope.
    and in most cases we do not recieve overtime pay for working longer than the requried working week we just get time off in lieu.
    Nope again.

    Your approach is wrong - when someone bitches about public sector employees, just point out that you took the smart move and they didn't.
