Sounds like hell. My dad went through that too when he worked at his old factory job.
Time for bed, I just got out of the shower and I might as well try and sleep while I'm feeling some-what better...
Night all.
G'night.
Massively. Well, for now, I'll be working under my old contract and using my remaining vacation time as much as I can.

Google says it's not a bank holiday in the UK.
Also, it's typically celebrated on the sunday preceding the 11th.
Silly wankers.

No. Shame I could have done with a three day weekend.

Remembrance Day here. No holiday from what I recall but they have that 11am thing going on.
We also have ANZAC day here (late April) which is a national holiday.

Actually, looking on wiki (not that I trust the info all that much) it looks like Canada has a Remembrance Day holiday, but the UK and other commonwealth countries don't.

I guess we're just too cool.
That, or the brits don't need to be reminded every year how many of us they got killed because they couldn't handle their own wars.

You guys use it as a holiday because nobody else doesI guess we're just too cool.

I never knew this though:
In Newfoundland, Canada, the Gallipoli offensive is commemorated each year on 25 April by the Royal Newfoundland Regiment who hold a march from Government House through the streets of St. John's ending at the National War Memorial. Members of both the Australian and New Zealand armed forces are invited each year to participate in the march and wreath laying ceremonies. Other Canadian communities also mark Anzac Day; Calgary has had a Cenotaph Service annually at Central Park with participation from the local military

25th April is ANZAC Day. Here and NZ. If it falls on a weekend we still get a holiday in lieu.

Not a holiday here. You guys just have it because no one else does.
Any excuse for a day off is good in my book.You guys use it as a holiday because nobody else does

We do that although it's not generally regarded as a big deal. I've run into that about one time since moving here, and that was mostly because the procession marched right through the university campus on the way to the memorial (said university was also named as a war memorial of sorts and was initially filled with WW1 veterans upon opening its doors).
We also have a weird double-holiday of sorts. July 1st is both the date Canada became a country and the anniversary of Beaumont-Hamel, one of the biggest misfires in the retaking of France. On the one hand, cake and BBQ. On the other, the british commanders wiped out about 4/5ths of our country's entire military force by marching them right into an ambush and subsequently not doing anything to fix it. It took less than a half hour to render a shitload of kids fatherless. As such, we eat our delicious festive cakes in a somber manner and wash it down with strong alcoholic beverages.
