# it's the british thing to do
as we get the lowest number of national holidays in europe!

cnuts of a government - 1/2 the bank holidays (or eqv) of any other country in europe.. and we work our asses off.

# Could be worse
could be American. They get fuck all annual leave when they first start working. Goes up a bit over the years but kids go into shock after leaving college and finding they've only got 10 days A/L.

# and about 15-20
national holidays.. oh I'm soooo gutted for them
not a generalisation or anything but twats the lot of them
Is that why they have to make up for it by fucking the whole world over environmentally and politically?

# but in the states taking your allocated holiday
is regarded as a sign of being workshy.
Puritan Work ethic or something

# indeed
what's the point of taking a day off when you're sick?

Where's the fun in that???

If you're ill, go into work and sneeze, cough and puke on as many senior managers as possible.

That's what I do.
