I voted no, but not for the obvious reasons, the fact is that this wedding is going to cost the country a fortune, and in no small way will damage the economy and many businesses/industries, aside from the 'bank holiday', many people (and probably most of them paid 'work or play') will take an extra 3 days of their statutory holidays before the wedding, coupled with the other bank holidays in the period means a lot of holidays in a short time, which in essence means they will have 11 consecutive paid days off work, this will hurt a lot of small businesses again!!
