Would you shop at a store that can’t cope with simple arithmetic?
No, no, Co-op! Adding an extra day to a two-day weekend does not make it a third longer; it actually makes it 50 per cent longer. And even if you include Friday evening (six hours, say) in your weekend, you only increase its length by 44 per cent (four-ninths) when you add another 24 hours. You’d have to include the whole of Friday if you want your weekend to be only a third longer when you add a Bank Holiday Monday.
