The public holidays here are 25th-6th December (with the following days off if they fall on the weekend) and January 1st, or the monday if it's a weekend day.
As far as I'm aware, here in Scotland we follow Marcus's holidays. With the exception that we Scots get an extra day - January 2nd - because New Year (Hogmanay) is a much stronger tradition up here than in the rest of the UK. (I think the rest of the UK gets a public holiday day at another time of year instead of the 2nd, but not entirely sure about that).
I've never heard of the 3rd being a public holiday, let alone the 4th! Certainly never got them off when I was working.
