Long pouty faces and much huffing and puffing on les Champs today - some of us unlucky people had to go to work on what is supposed to be the Pentecote bank holiday

Ever since 2002 when squillions of old people keeled over and died during that year's heat wave, the governement decided that one of the May bank holidays would simply be 'cancelled'

That we the people should go to work for n.o.t.h.i.n.g as asign of solidarity

That all of the money earned on that day would disappear into the grimy pockets of the slave driving employers be used to fund some kind of kitty for the wrinkly people

We've all been sold a dummy
