Well, what a miserable man Trevor Pateman must be (Letters, March 16).
I love Bank Holidays. I work hard and enjoy spending a long weekend relaxing and having fun with friends.
My wife often works on Bank Holidays but she chooses to.
It boils down to business greed, Mr Pateman. Sundays used to be a day of rest and Bank Holidays an extra day to spend with loved ones.
If businesses didn't feel the need to open on these days and earn more money, we could all benefit. So moan at them, Mr Pateman.
I think we don't have enough. We certainly have a lot less than the rest of Europe. So don't think of it as a bad thing but rather as a reward for working the longest hours in Europe and be grateful. I am.
-Richard Goodliff, Patcham
