- Everyone works until 5pm on the last day of work before Christmas (unlike NZ where everyone goes home by noon).
- If Christmas, Boxing Day or New Year falls on a weekend then there is no replacement holiday during the week.
- The day after New Years day isn’t a holiday.
- Trying to do your Christmas shopping in the lunch-break is like trying to buy ballet tickets in the middle of a rugby scrum.
- Every second night on the way home, there’s a bit of tube or tube station that you have to step around because some over-indulgent reveller has been sick.
- No one stays in London for Christmas and New Years Eve by choice - The royal family go to Sandringham, the English from outside London go back to wherever they’re from, the foreigners go wherever home is, the Londoners go to Spain.
