Paid holidays.

...and they don't get holiday pay.

 

[Alarm]

Your just jealous you cannot afford a holiday.
Do what the rest of us do, save up for it.

 

[joe-90]

I don't need to save up for it.

 

[Alarm]

I didnt mean a day trip to Bognor.

 

[joe-90]

[Alarm]

Good workers the poles, fair play to 'em.

Nahhhhhhhh They might appear to be good workers (probably because they'll work for peanuts)

If they are that good,, why don't they stay in Poland and work hard over there?

Holiday pay?

Paid leave you mean.

It is up to the employee as to whether they can afford a holiday or vacation.

Taking a family holiday for a self employed bod can be expensive. Not only are you spending money on the holiday, you are also not earning a bean for two weeks.

Who cares, its only money. I fondly remember going on me hol's as a sprog and no doubt our kids will too. Even a week in the UK is better than nowt.

One of the reasons for going abroad used to be to see how different cultures lived. Luckily we have imported many of these cultures and have no need to travel far and wide to witness their lifestyles

But can the UK afford it? If a strike by a few public sector workers costs £500,000,000 - what does 5 WEEKS cost?

Whatever happened to Joe's conservatory roof insulating company?

I want to build some bespoke porches too.

Do us a Mercedes whilst you're at it Joe. Cheers!

I can go away with a dozen Brits and at least ten of them will be looking for a English or rish pub!

Never said there was or was not.
Scarborough is a giggle at 10 AM Xmas day in a gale.

I meant further afield. As you know

I have an itching ( no not there) to visit Iceland ( not the food shop Joe!).
It seems to have an alluring appeal for some reason.
