And we're only told now!

"Guy's and idiot and should be forcibly ejected from the country."

And who's saying we want your idiots? They probably don't speak English either.

A building site manager I spoke to a while ago told me that they planned for having 70% of the day's work done before lunch, as productivity plummeted as people got more tired - so according to him people were twice as efficient in the first 3-4 hours as in the next 3-4 hours. In such a context a longer workday would make absolutely no sense - productivity would be minimal.

In Denmark we have five weeks of holidays each year, and as the law is made, you don't have a right to five weeks, it is your duty to have five weeks of holidays. This means you cannot trade your holidays in for other benefits - you have to go one holiday.

For some reason nobody complains about this egregious limitation of our freedoms :-)
