Thank's For The Bank Holiday Lizzie

I'm no Royalist but i will take the extra bank holiday for the Queen's 70th year anniversary as monarch, so thanks Liz and if you want to pencil in the day after as the day you pack up Buckingham Palace and end the Royal's then that would be much appreciated.   
In Britain we have 9 days when we get paid to sit at home watching TV this year but that still put's us way down the vegging in our pyjama's rather than being at work league with Myanmar having 32 and Nepal 30 opportunities to wake up midweek at midday.
A few people have mentioned that the Queen is 96 and has been ill recently so its a bit of a gamble waiting until June for the day off but we get a day off even if her clogs are popped before then but if she still with us on 3rd June, they are planning on changing the name from a Bank Holiday to a Thank Holiday where we say thank you Queenie for all she has done over the last 7 decades so thank you your majesty for allowing us to hand you hundreds of millions for you to live in one of your two Palaces or one of your three castles or two sprawling estates.
There is talk of making the 3rd June permanently a bank holiday but the grumpy Government have poo-pooed that idea straight away citing the loss of productivity as each Bank Holiday costs the economy £1.4bn but across Europe, us Brits lag far behind the rest with some European workers able to put their feet up for as many as 16 times a year. Even the workaholic Germans have 10 but the Swiss only have 5 official public holidays and any other depends upon how charitable the Government feel in any given year so that should make us feel a bit better.
