Isn't that "Bank Holiday" accurate, Trev? (I don't even know what those are, honestly. I do imagine it has nothing to do with people pounding away on keyboards here.) :(

"y"

*sigh* That's the "y" that should have been in "holidays."

It got a little confused over that whole consonant/vowel thing and wandered away.
