Having spoken to someone today who is in the public service (not sure if I'm allowed to name the relevant service) it turns out that they are entitled, whether officially or not, to a half day paid in order to do their Christmas shopping. This despite having weekends completely free.
Don't get me wrong here, I'm not wholly against the public sector but, being in the private sector I was always glad to be allowed a few hours off unpaid in order to do stuff that couldn't be done at weekends. In the current climate I think this is a bit rich though. This is quite a large part of the public sector too so the monies involved would not be insignificant.
