Ohhh... I could so use that. The law here was changed a few months ago to increase the minimum paid holiday from 2 to 4 weeks. Of course, no company ever gives people more than the minimum. Then we get fewer public holidays than anywhere else in Europe (9 or 10, I think. I can't be bothered to count). Even Scotland gets more than us.
