Government Offices and Banks will be closed.

I was planning to pay my car tax and go South - won't be able to do the tax and I guess that Metahan will be hoaching (really busy for the non Scots) so no point in doing that either.

On August 1st 1958, the TMT was set up in an attempt to counter the forces of EOKA.
