In addition to all the public holidays we get, the metalworkers get a picnic day as well, which happens to be this Tuesday. Several of the companies I use (a laser cutter & a powdercoater) are actually shutting down for the whoel week. This is causing me no end of dramas, since I've got to now got to find other suppliers at short notice. All this is wonderful if you're oe of the lucky ones.
