The summer bank holiday is slipping through our fingers but how long do Brits have to wait until the next one?
Every year, hard-working Brits get a handful of days off thanks to Bank Holidays.
England, Wales and Northern Ireland have marked the 'official' end of summer on August 28 - with Scotland's being held earlier this month on August 7.
Typically, you get eight days if you live in England and Wales, nine if you live in Scotland and 10 if you live in Northern Ireland.
