Today, being a 'Bank Holiday,' people in England are enjoying a day off. The weather here is not too bad, the roads are quiet, bar those folks returning home from some distance away, and I did not realise the holiday was today until last Friday. No-one tells me anything!
The Banks are indeed closed today, though High Street Banks are not organisations that see themselves as charity shops. Ina magazine from 1909 a man tells the story of how a London Bank Teller treats him with snooty contempt while he cashes a cheque. Nothing much has changed.
The shops are of course mostly open, Bank Holidays is when they make money, and Sainsburys at 10 am was busy today. I went today hoping it would be quiet, how wrong I was! Still, that means no wandering out tomorrow.
