Ooh, that's a corker.

Would be amusing, after all the posturing, if RefUk + ResBrit don't get near Team Andy.

There's a good bet on Betfair of Labour getting above 43.5% of the vote at c.1.33, or at least it was earlier today.

That's real value, I think.

Also my four week holiday begins in less than a fortnight.

I didn't realise you had joined the civil service.

Private sector, I have a generous holiday allowance, I rolled some over from last year, I've TOILed a few weeks when the shit hit the fan earlier on this year.

I have fond memories of my 33 days annual leave plus up to 13 flexidays from my time at British Gas.

Public sector Ts&Cs carried over into the private sector.

I get 25 days plus stats, plus 1 year for every full year I've worked here (capped at 10 years) and technically I've been here since 2011.

In certain circumstances I can buy 10 to 20 days, plus TOIL up to 10 days.

Two years ago when I had my surgery I was off work for seven weeks on full pay, I've been fortunate I've always worked for great employers

Suspect that is a more accurate Restore figure than we have seen of late.

Their likely support wont turn out on the actual day imho.
