Aside from the obvious, I've found another reason it'd suck to be German. According to an overheard conversation (German guy visiting our factory today), they have a May bank holiday just the same as us, only they always have it on May 1st, rather than the first Monday. And apparently, if May 1st falls on a weekend, they lose the holiday. I'll take my guaranteed long weekend, thanks  |

It's best to be French holiday-wise. They do a 35 hour week to start with (although that's changing soon), whereas we supposedly do 48. And they have more bank holidays than they did King Louis'! And then they still have the bollocks to moan about everything under the sun! Cheeky buggers!  |

Then I wish to point out now, since our paths haven't crossed very often, that anything I say about the French, Germans, Italians, Americans or anything else is intended purely as mild-mannered humour - I abuse the English more often than those lot combined Okay, maybe not the French  |
