On British Time Mate

I emailed someone about my Visa and got an automated response back:

I will be out of the office until Tuesday 3rd May with no access to email. Please note the following dates are public holidays in the UK:

Friday 22nd, Monday 25th and Friday 29th April and Monday 2nd May.

If you have an urgent query in my absence please contact XXXXXXXXX. Alternatively I will respond to your email upon my return.

Thanks,
