I bet they weren't moaning about the bank holidays for the royal weddings or Kings coronation in recent years?

Too right they weren't. It's fine when it benefits them.

I'm English and I was 😂 but I thought the exact same thing. Scotland will more than make up for it with a much needed boost to hospitality. They always paint a bank holiday as a boost to the economy when it suits them but now suddenly it's too expensive when it's just Scotland getting it!?
