America is the same. Visited a mate 2 years ago in Baltimore who only had 3 days spare and then went back to work.

Fucking hell and we moan all the time over here in the UK about some people only getting 20 days.America is the same. Visited a mate 2 years ago in Baltimore who only had 3 days spare and then went back to work.
I was quite lucky over the course of my employment that I got a minimum of 25 days with extra days thrown in depending on your length of service.

So no football boxing day because you want the people serving beers and pies and on the turnstiles to have a day off. And the players too.To me 25/26 Dec should be holidays for all but essential emergency services, my wife works for monarch and they have 7 flights out in Xmas day, why, either go before or after ffs. Screw up everyone's Xmas you sad twats. And I've worked plenty of Xmas days in my lifetime before anyone asks.

Couple of years ago Barcon whilst holidaying in Cuba we met up with 2 couples ex pats from Canada,who said they only got 2 weeks holiday a year, hence they could only stay there for one week.
WTF that all about mate ?
It's the way it is mate. My wife will get 4 weeks next year. She's been at the place for over 15 years and it's one of the biggest law firms in the country.
I'm telling you, we are overworked to fuck, It's sickening. I can take all the time I want but I don't get paid for it.

Do a Nile Cruise. While things aren't great in Cairo and other areas, the FCO aren't warning against travel to Luxor and the Upper Nile area.Lucky bastard. ;) Love Egypt Colin but this is now our 3rd year without venturing over there.Love the country and we did a two day stay in Luxor, visiting The Valley of The Kings and Queens.
Found it far more interesting than The Pyramids which I found totally underwhelming.Luxor any day mate.
