Statutory Bank Holiday

Famous quotes containing the words bank and/or holiday:

    “People get a bad impression of it by continually trying to treat it as if it was a bank clerk, who ought to be on time on Tuesday next, instead of philosophically seeing it as a painter, who may do anything so long as you don’t try to predict what.”
    —Katharine Whitehorn (b. 1926)

    “A holiday is when you celebrate something that’s all finished up, that happened a long time ago and now there’s nothing left to celebrate but the dead.”
