AlanHo Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Blimey DW - your posts remind me of the British public transport system.

Anyway..........have a great time. B) I believe that the UK work force do fare better than those in the US. When I used to get involved in doing the dreaded W word, I used to get three weeks annual holiday(vacation), plus two days at Easter, two days at Witsun, two days Spring bank holiday, two days late summer bank holiday, one day for May day, and a week at Christmas. No doubt others will correct me if I have missed any out. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wait for ages for a bus to come along and you get a whole row of them one after the other.Where ya been - we missed you................................... :lol:Hi Alan. As both the misses and I are now retired we have been trying to enjoy our time off with boating, swimming, fishing and some light traveling.Good news on the home front includes the fact that my son (US Marine) is leaving Iraq in a couple of days and returning to Okinawa...........the other good news includes the fact that my daughter is now engaged (wedding on 9-4-10) and is starting a better job in 2 weeks.Despite our physical disabilities life is good for us which reminds us every day how good we have it compared to many folks in this world.We thank our Maker every day.

(Of course, most get three or four weeks of regular vacation, but nobody dares to take them!) That's not very healthy, no wonder so many Japanese politicians and businessmen look so stressed out (in contrast to the very relaxed ordinary Japanese people I've met). You're doing the right thing PW, make the most of your holiday entitlements & have a nice time all you people going away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJR Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Best wishes to all those people who are enjoying a holiday at this time. I'm one of the lucky ones - being retired means that every day is a holiday, except for personal commitments. :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
