Glad to see it's not fucking with Mighty Hoopla, and potentially means an extra bank holiday around Eurovision I won't have to book off.

Beyond that, meh.

I wonder what other cities were shortlisted before London got it?

The roof of Birmingham’s Cathedral is too short

WHAT ABOUT THE BANK HOLIDAY

Apparently they're TRIMMING THE FAT due to the cost of living crisis etc etc, but I'm not sure how RELATABLE you can make a crowning ceremony in which a bazillionaire is anointed by God.

Monday is one of my usual working days so I'll probably get shafted and get nothing extra

I would have thought they’d move one of the other BHs in May and just have 2 days in a row like they did this year for the Jubilee.

Maybe it’s too short notice to cancel an existing Bank Holiday. We had about 18 months warning for the Jubilee change. (Or arguably 70 years notice).

All Mondays

Garfield reportedly THRILLED.
