We love Bank Holidays here at FlipFlops.co.uk as each year it gives us an extra 8 or so bonus days where we can have a guilt free day off! We use these days to throw on our Flip Flops and prey the sun will be shining! But, how you use the time off is 100% up to you!

An extra bank holiday in 2023!
On the 6th of May 2023 the coronation of King Charles III will take place. The Monday after has been officially declared a bank holiday in the UK!
This could be the perfect excuse to host a party or do as we are planning and head to the beach!
Fingers crossed the sun will accept our invitation and attend for the entire duration of the weekend!
We’ve just noticed…
Before we sign off from this yearly update, we just had to mention this little fact! Here in England we are being short changed! The English get 9 bank holidays in 2023 but Scotland gets 10 and Northern Ireland win with 11!
Is it time to set up an online petition to the Government so us English and Welsh crew can get an extra 2 days?!
