Actually its not just that day which is causing the problem. Its going to be hugely expensive because the week before we had a long weekend (two bank holidays) and now this weekend is the same - ie bank holiday Friday and Monday.

Thus you have 4 holidays followed by 3 days of work and another 4 holidays. A lot of people just took those 3 days off and flew abroad. So we end up losing a lot of productivity.

The UK government is just fucked.
