I was boasting about the “famous” 6 weeks leave”
Seriously??
I am taking 3 weeks leave to go skiing, and my (nurse) wife has taken 4 (yes, four) days leave to get the same amount of time off. Admittedly there might be a Christmas in there, and she had to "request" a particular shift before and after, but there it is. Yet another example of how we allow our masters to shaft us big time.
Pre COSAP 94 (8 weeks leave) might have been worth boasting about.
