We’re taking a long weekend in the UK – we get Monday 7th May off as a national holiday. It’s the May Day (1st) holiday, which – in Britain – is taken on the Monday following the 1st, if it doesn’t fall on a Monday. 

just-auto will be closed for the day and no daily newsletters will be sent out. The weekly will also be in your Inbox on Tuesday rather than the usual Monday.

For once, a weekend with a ‘bank holiday’ (the quaint UK term for national holidays) attached is forecast to see some rather clement weather. Time for us to let off some steam in the great outdoors, traffic jams permitting (May day ‘parade’ for us often involves tarmac, stationary metal and frazzled families – but we’re used to it).

Normal service resumes on Tuesday.

Have a nice weekend and, whatever you do, please drive safely.
