    I just came back from 2 months paid leave - it was very nice
    Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

    Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

          Try a country that gives 4 weeks paid holiday + a holiday cheque + extra leave for your surplus hours.

                Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                          Shall I link your own thread where you were complaining that Australian workers had the longest hours and lowest hourly earnings in the western world?

                                Well, compared to cost of living, UK wages are crap. Our prices are way higher than lots of places, and our wages not to the same extent.
