12 Things That Inevitably Happen On A Bank Holiday Weekend

Oh hey bank holiday! Our favourite type of weekend, we can’t wait for our three days off at the end of August – we think we deserve a bit of R&R. Whether you’re spending the bank holiday with family, friends or solo, we’re fairly confident of how the weekend will go – as every bank holiday is inevitably the same…

1. Friday = FriYAY

Literally nobody does any work on the Friday – we’re all just waiting for the 5.30pm car-park dash. Someone probably brings in donuts, and the office Spotify is turned dangerously loud: we’ve got that Friday feeling!
