Can you confirm?
So sorry - I meant to say the 28th, don't know I ended up putting the 21st. My mistake entirely.
The Pentecost holiday week-end is always the week-end after the Ascension Day week-end.
Monday is the 28th, though (not the 29th).
So... we have the two public holidays on Thursday 17th and Monday 28th when offices, banks, shops etc are shut, and the time in between when lots of people are taking time off.
