For the Bank Holidays and one extra day near Christmas. The rest of the time there will be not as many people in as usual.

Pretty much the same as any other employer where people work in an office.

Ports will be different.

Why, what is the problem?

Hey PaperPusher,

At christmas time it must be complete day offs then at the time, yeah ? for all the case workers and public departments..

so perhaps he wants to know the probable delay that might happen since there will be holidays ..

what are the dates though ? is this correct - 21 December 2009 to Fri 1 January 2010

Regards

Well, it should be Xmas, boxing day and new years days. But I wouldn't expect much working from 20th December to 5th Jan.
