Hate to pi$$ on your fire but for at least the last 5 years in AC Swanwick, summer leave is only 2 cycles and then an additional 2 to 4 days depending on your seniority (ie have you gained the additional days for doing 8 or 10 years service) and only if spaces allow the additional days to be taken. Summer leave period runs from 1st May to 30th September which was "re-juggled" about 4 years ago so only 5 months and could be different to other units. I know there is a maximum number of days we can take in this period should the rare chance occur for spaces to be available and think its 18 days (3 cycles). Don't know ANYONE that has had this approved other than for extreme circumstances. Still waiting to book my additional days for this year's summer period and it looks like May, May or May, as for booking a holiday based on that.....
