I've been furloughed and would much rather be working in an industry where I would be working full time. Ive never taken a government handout in my life and it doesn't sit easy with me in the slightest even though I've paid hundreds of thousands in taxes over the years.
And I've not once considered it a 'holiday'.
How important is a holiday? Well by the same measure how important is going to the pub? Eating out? Going to sit on Bournemouth beach? Going to the cinema? Where do you stop? Just shut down everything and turn the lights off on your way out......
