Sorry, bank holidays are what we call the public holidays..

We get;

New Year's Day
Good Friday
Easter Monday
Early May Bank Holiday (first monday in May)
Spring Bank Holiday (last monday in May)
Summer Bank Holiday (last monday in August)
Christmas Day
Boxing Day

And a civil servant is a government worker.. so, tax people, customs people.. all that kind of thing! They get some extra holidays off each year on top of what the rest of the country gets!

interestingly, we get the least number of holidays in all of Europe and the commonwealth! But compared to the US (dunno about Aus / NZ) we do tend to get a decent amount of holiday from employers!!!
