BEFORE YOU ASK ME FOR A DAY OFF CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING STATISTICS:

There are 365 days in the year.
You sleep eight hours a day making 122 days.
Which subtracted from 365 days makes 243 days.

You also have 8 hours' recreation every day making another 122 days.
That leaves 121 days.

There are 52 Sundays you do not work at all. That leaves 69 days.

You get Saturday afternoon off, this gives 52 halfdays, or 26 more days that you do not work.
That leaves a balance of 43 days.

You get an hour off for lunch, which when totalled makes 16 days.
Leaving 27 days of the year.

You also get at least 21 days holiday every year.
Now leaving 6 days.

You get 5 bank holidays during the year.
Now this leaves only one day.

AND I'LL BE DAMNED IF I'LL GIVE YOU.
THAT ONE DAY OFF!

Good one OF... but...

>> You sleep eight hours a day

I do?

>> You also have 8 hours' recreation every day

do I?

>> 52 Sundays you do not work at all

Day of the week makes no difference.

>> You get Saturday afternoon off,

Obviously never heard of battling in the supermarket on a sat afternoon. :/

>> You get an hour off for lunch,

Eating a sandwich at the desk.

>> You get 5 bank holidays during the year.

Actually iirc theres 8 Bank holidays in a year, but they ceased when I stopped working at the Bank anyhow
