Bank holiday.

How many of these do you have where you live?

There are 11 recognized Federal holidays in the US, most are Mondays, but several of them are always on the day set aside for them, like Independence Day is always the 4th of July, no matter what day of the week that is. In that case, if they fall on a Sat. or Sun., the nearest workday is counted for the holiday as well.

How many of these "bank holidays" are there in the UK? And are there other holidays?

Are all the banks closed on bank holidays? Even the ATMs are closed?

You are lazy as usual, or just start threads for the usual arguments to get your kicks in. Perhaps a little of both?

We have several 3 day weekends, but no bank holidays that I know of.

Some would count as "bank holidays" if we called them that, since the banks ARE closed.

Not the ATMs, though. They are always open, unless there is a malfunction. I mean, that IS why they exist, to dispense cash when the bank is closed, right?

FMF would never have started such a ridiculous thread as this one. Why don't you have him give you some lesser ridiculous ideas to use as topics of discussion?

Therefore we owe thanks for ATMs availability to bank closures?

I suppose you are going to tell us next that a permanent bank holiday is called bankruptcy?
