Dear Roy,
to compound your feelings even more, both Sweden and Norway up til quite
recently just shut down for the month of July (usually 3 weeks), all
industries did this so as to solve the problem of holidays!! - This is
still a feature of holiday-placement, and shop-opening hours , and all
services slow down. And of course we have a minimum of 4 weeks yearly
(this is stated in law), and should take 3 weeks of it during the
summer, in one go (but this is broken by many, who now prefer to spread
it out). In addition many people have more holiday, with increasing age
and number of years in my firm I can get up to 6 weeks here in Norway. -
In Sweden I think that the minimum is more than 4 weeks now.

But on the other hand free saturdays is a relatively recent phenomen. It
only came in in the late 1950's in Sweden. During most of my schoolyears
we had school on saturdays - half-day only; and my father worked on
saturdays (again half-day only). Since we managed to get that form the
anglo-saxon world, perhaps you should try to get our holidays "over
there"!

Another but, our general pension age is at the moment 67! - So what we
get each year, we also use up after you have finished working :-)
(there are people who can get it at 65, 62, but that is special).

And of course we haven't at all got the weather for a long holiday in
July, usually a wet and chilly month!

with warm greetings,
Ingrid High - Norway

......Must be "holiday time."  I've always envied the European
style holidays....  Looong....  I wonder if all of Sweden is already
"on holiday???"  We have heard nothing from Sweden for weeks.....

Roy, I'll be away from the computer for a week or two. Please take me
off
the mailing list temporarily. Also, would you mind letting others know?

Thanks so much. I appreciate what you are doing and you.

I'll get back to you soon.

Bert
