England particularly has a fairly low number of them.
So I'd be in favour of one or two more.

I don't work school holidays so I'm not personally desperate for more bank hols ... But isn't today the last one until Christmas?!

If they're gonna be re-jigged, maybe it could be so every school hol has a bank holiday? Then working families who'd be working when their kids were off could have a long weekend...

I also think retail staff should get bank hols tbh. They were the least-recognised key workers during the pandemic, not to mention the way they're treated for such crap pay.
