Why are bank holidays called bank holidays?
Bank holidays are so called because back in the mid-19th century in the UK it was difficult for bankers to get time off. There’s a good article here on why they exist: http://www.publicholidayguide.co...While most working people had time off on ‘public’ holidays it was difficult for bankers to have a holiday because bills of exchange (money and debts, to you and me) still required repaying whatever day it was. While Sundays were taken as days off, public (national) holidays were no exception.In 1871 the Bank Holidays Act was introduced which designated Easter Monday, Whit Monday, the first Monday in August and Boxing Day.The upshot is that people could not be compelled to do anything on a ‘bank’ holiday that they could not be compelled to do on Christmas Day or Good Friday (common law, nationwide public holidays). As this included making a (business) payment businesses hence closed for the day - and people took the day off. Payments made the following day were deemed to have been made the day before.Bank holidays are slightly different in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
