Well we close for the Easter week anyway and it just happens to run into May Day the following Monday, although it's a long way off and a very long wait until Easter.
A lot of companies in NI probably won't close because 29 Apr is being recognised as a bank holiday, not a public holiday.
Not all companies recognise the same statutory bank holidays eg. we do not close on 17 March. It is a bank holiday, not a public holiday...but other companies I have worked for, do close on that date.

Hi Gee,
This past Sunday night, TLC (cable company in the US), had four hours of programming on the Royals. I watched the whole thing. The first hour was about the last 8 royal weddings in the last 60-years. From QE II to Price Andrew. By far, Princess Diana was the most lavish and my favorite.
The second hour was a biography on both Kate and Wills. Showed them growing up, how they met, the break up and then the engagement, and guessing on what Kate's wedding dress will look like.
The last two hours were about Queen Elizabeth and her marriage to Price Phillip and also about her reign for the last 60-years.
I loved every minute of it (except for the commercials). I was mesmerized!

Oh now that would have been something special to watch. Imagine how things have changed over the past 60 years?
Looking forward to 29 April! Diana would have loved it.

Seems a few pundits are taking bets on what song Wills n Kate will dance to at their reception. Dancing Queen maybe?  Apparently Kate is a big Abba fan! |

Just so long as it isn't "money, money, money"?  or, for that matter (now that we are all european!). "Waterloo"! Would perhaps recommend "I had a dream"! |

I can't believe it's less than 4 weeks!

This is a new generation and so exciting. I remember when Wills was born and now he's getting married. Would loved to hear Harry's speech! |
