I only get 24, 25 and 26 off. Had to work on remembrance day as well, in order to bank the holiday for the 24th. We get very few holidays compared to you europeans, and usually only 15 days of vacation :(

I didn't know you were in Scotland! How is it there, have you had a chance to see and of the country? That is where me and the wife wanted to take or honeymoon to, but we ended up in Mexico instead.
