I got talking in a pub this xmas to a group of people, (I know silly me) about Xmas and 4 people in the group said that they do not do Christmas. Ok that their right and they can do that, what got me mad was they then started on about the fact they will only get 13 days with pay off work.

When I ask why are you worry about your time off if you do not do Xmas, and that there will be lots of people that do, do this time of year working over the hols like the folks running this pub, working in hotels etc. One of them then said well I cannot see why the pubs have to close on Xmas day and I just have to make do with beer at home.

Is there no time that is safe anymore, I worked in the hotel trade for 21 years and in that time I got one Christmas off,and no time did I get 13 Days off. But I did look forward to Sunday has that was the day off in the hotel I work at till the law was changed, then we all had to start working on a Sunday.

Before you start the fight to get the pubs open on Christmas think about the little people that will not get any hols over this so you can party out at you local.
