Noun to describe a series of vacation days in the old country. The banks are on holiday... so why should the rest of the lazy slobs go to work? Is it any wonder that the empire was lost (or perhaps it was just forgotten during one of those holiday fortnites).
1. The offices will be closed for the Bank holiday (and we will probably go out of business but who cares).
2. On the bank holidays, we go to Blackpool for a grand old time on the sands.
3. "It is hard to tell if the poor efficiency is due to incompetence or the volume of bank holidays".

A dull, middle aged man who works long hours and therefore for whom a bank holiday is one of a few days off they get in a year. As a result, despite rarely venturing outside their home town for most of the year, feel obliged to go on a day or weekend trip to a hackneyed tourist destination like Blackpool or Rhyl for the day even if the weather is awful. Usually found in a traffic jam with a Bingo Maud (not yet defined) on the M6 in a Fiat Uno, often towing a caravan.
