This is how the holidays work out this<br>
year, in other years it will differ:<br>
<br>
We have Bank Holidays - ie public holidays - Xmas and Boxing Day (26th) plus one<br>
on New Year's day*. However when a bank holiday falls at a weekend that day is<br>
carried into the following week. So that this year the Christmas Day BH was<br>
transferred to 26th. Boxing Day BH is then taken on 27th<br>
<br>
How the holidays are implemented after Christmas implemented is up to individual<br>
companies, but as a general rule bigger companies (supermarkets, big chains etc)<br>
can give time off in lieu and open on the Bank Holidays - Christmas Day is the<br>
exception, shops aren't open - whereas for smaller companies for all sorts of<br>
reasons it may not be an option.<br>
<br>
Many smaller businesses closed on Friday night (23rd) and will stay closed until<br>
28th. They will then will close again on the evening of the 30th and not re-open<br>
until Tuesday 3rd. Some simply don't think it economically viable to re-open<br>
for a couple of days, for example because a lot of staff will take holidays to<br>
ensure a nice long break with their family and friends and the company will be<br>
under-manned.<br>
<br>
Because the situation is complex there are no hard and fast rules as to which<br>
days people will open, but the above is a broad indication. I have no idea about<br>
RaceTech specifically.<br>
<br>
It's a pain, but...<br>
<br>

* Originally Bank Holidays were literally that; days on which the banks were<br>
closed and people couldn't trade and all the world went quiet. "In period" not<br>
even a Healey would venture out - not certain to be able to replenish an empty<br>
tank outside major towns.<br>
