I think we should have a referendum on the following proposal.The average working week is about 38 hours, or 7.6 hours a day for five days.
If we exclude existing holidays for simplicity.
now if you consider that 8 weeks = 304 hours.
then you could divi those hours up amongst the winter weeks, so 304 hours, divided by 44 weeks = 6.9 hours a week, or an extra 1.4 hours a day, making the winter working day 9 hours long, and meaning we could all take July and August off as a national holiday and enjoy the sun.

Genius! We should all email that to the various parties and see if we can get it shoehorned in to the election pledges!
