I never thought I'd say that (and I've no doubt it'll be revised in the near future), but they've actually done something I approve of! Reading an article on the Beeb about how the UK has the least paid leave in the EU, and this jumped out: A change in EU rules means the UK will have to stop including eight public holidays in the EU's 20-day minimum. [...]The UK entitlement will be raised in two stages, initially going up to 24 days from October 2007.Twenty-eight days' paid holiday minimum per year! Oh hell yes! That said, in case you were curious, that still leaves us bottom of the 'paid leave' league Denmark 39.5 Austria 38 Sweden 36 Slovakia 35 Luxembourg 35 France 35 Germany 34-39 Portugal 34 Czech Republic 33 Slovenia 33 Italy 32 Spain 32 Greece 32 Poland 31 Finland 31 Bulgaria 31 Belgium 30 Hungary 30 Romania 30 Ireland 29 Netherlands 28-29 UK 28
