Don’t kid yourselves, it happens all over the world. I have discovered a new disease, “One-day malaria”. I am going to present my findings to the WHO. After conducting a small epidemiological study within my company, there appears to be a disease that has all the symptoms of malaria, which strikes on any day that bridges a bank holiday and a weekend, sometimes on a Friday as well. The disease, which affects only the local population, is debilitating enough to justify not coming to work, starts in the morning and mysteriously clears up at nightfall the same day. In most cases, no medication was indicated. Hey mon, thees ees Afrika! :diablo:

Why isn’t it a recognised holiday? Is it because “Australia day” is a new idea by the anti brit lot?

If you lost a day’s pay for your sickie, I doubt so many would be “sick”. Everyone’s conning everyone else so it would be easier to formalise the holiday and be done with it, wouldn’t it?
