Edinburgh council have decided NOT to take up the dafty idea of a holiday as it would cost the council £350k. Take a second, £350k of taxpayers money for sweet FA. Just imagine what it'll cost us all when the NHS take this extra days holiday.  Eyewatering in cost, never mind the knock on effect on poor patients. 

Yes? But, as I've mentioned, most councils have decided, rightly, to not take up this pointless holiday. Certainly most private sector employers will also bin this ludicrous idea. You enjoy it, most people will be working as normal as, in case you're not aware, it's over a day AFTER Scotland's first game.
