If something says it will take so many "calendar days" would you include weekends and bank holidays? (mander.xyz)

I always assumed the term is used specifically to differentiate it from "working days", but talking to my bank today they claimed that "calendar days" doesn't include weekends and bank holidays.

Working days: weekdays excluding holidays.

Calendar days: actual days.

as per my almost-half-century on the planet (at least in English).

Cannot see why anyone would use calendar days. Unless they were trying to distinguish from working days.

So yes that would mean weekend and bank holidays.

They're definitely thinking of working days, calendar days are days on a calendar.

Calendar days to me would be actual days, I.e. including weekends and bank holidays. There is no way it can be the same as working days!

Isn't every day is a calendar day?

Not February 30th.
