Huh. Go figure.
My point exactly. Go out and do something. But every spring and summer when we get a bank holiday we get moans on here about why the TV companies aren't bothering putting a "Bond film on" etc etc...
As for this early May Bank Holiday, it has always felt weird because when you were at School/College you only got the one day off, or at a residential college I went to, you just carried on as normal.
That is because MArgaret Thatcher did not approve of a socialist "May Day" Holiday!
Assume usuall BBC morning rubbish, Victoria Derbyshire and Himes under Hammer, Bargain Hunt.

We're long past the days when crap TV was the exception. These days there seem to be only a couple of periods through the year when there's anything worthwhile: the spring "season" after christmas for a few months and autumn.
If only we could buy month-by-month or weekly TV licences for the times when it's worth watching.
