Celt Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Frances, you're right. If it falls on a Saturday then I think people get the Monday off or it's held in lieu. Sorry for misleading folx but it has been put right now. However, I think I might go down to Peel beach tomorrow and get naked, paint myself blue and throw rocks at the Vikings. Anyone else Albert, I don't know who you had it off, where you had it off and with whom you had off with, but if you want to have it off with local Manks prostitiutes, I would'nt now where to go. But I do know that there was a Local Brothel in Ramsey in the mid 1800's so ask about up there and see if it still live on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babybear Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Does anyone know where I can find an on-line Tynwald programme? I can only find old ones. I'd like to have an idea of what is happening this year. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckett Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 According to Mec Vannin, "our national day is not an official public holiday..." http://www.energyfm.net/news/bulletinstory2.htm (is this link going to change when they update each story?!!) hmmmm, someone had better tell the Treasury http://www.gov.im/infocentre/ViewNews.gov?...ml&menuid=10160 Nationalists fight for official Tynwald Day holiday Last Updated:05/07/2006 11:36:03 Manx nationalists are slamming the failure of a large number of firms who don't automatically give staff a Tynwald Day holiday. While acknowledging some people will always be required to work on such days,for instance the emergency services,they say more could be done to ensure everyone can join in the festivities. Mark Kermode,Chairman of Mec Vannin,says although our national day is not an official public holiday, it should be recognised by all of those people who choose to live and work here - whether they are of Manx origin or not....... Meanwhile, Bernard Moffatt of the Celtic League feels an all Island celebration on Tynwald Day would help make immigrants feel much more a part of the Manx way of life...........

Bombay Bad Boy Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 TT Bank Holiday? Never even heard of that one. I don't get Tynwald day off either. The company where I work does all its trade with the UK, can't have potential paying punters phoning in and getting the answering machine, can we.

Gladys Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Thought about this after I had posted above, but if you are salaried (i.e. same amount month in, month out regardless of what your holidays are whether public or contractual) you will get public holidays time off and paid. It is only people who are paid on a hours worked basis, I guess, that will see whether they get paid for it or not. I suspect that the all holidays are taken into account when fixing a salary anyway. Old saying, but there is no such thing as a free lunch! Bombay, surely you have heard of Senior Race Day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but not where the contract of employment states that you can't have the 2 Manx Bank Holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
