Clever!!!

Yes I agree and will go further - employers must be forced to pay vacation pay for mandatory vacations.

Hadjab · 30/03/2021 12:29

Argh, you got me!!

DrSbaitso · 30/03/2021 12:29

The entire point of the post was to be misread, so you can't really blame people for doing it. It was a trap!

No need for some of the excessively rude and aggressive responses though.

TwunchOfBats · 30/03/2021 12:30

Totally agree.

I also think the twelve weeks between the first and second is too long and it should be three weeks.

Three weeks between them is about right Grin

Watercoloursky · 30/03/2021 12:31

Very funny, OP! All these people getting angry... I will gladly have their vacations if they don't want them! ;-)

Furries · 30/03/2021 12:31

Can’t believe how many times I had to read that! Kept rechecking the punctuation to see what I’d missed.

I’d like to take mine in Barbados 🏖

PandemicPalava · 30/03/2021 12:32

Woah that took me the longest time to figure out!!!

MrsMackesy · 30/03/2021 12:32

I want ANY vacation, forced and mandatory or otherwise!

When you're retired you can have them all the time
PraiseTheSunshine · 30/03/2021 12:33

Absolutely! Where do I sign up?

TwunchOfBats · 30/03/2021 12:34

That's presumably because the elderly have been prioritised as they need them to stay fit and well? Smile

Sadly, though, I have heard that they involve a little prick...

MrsMackesy · 30/03/2021 12:35

I have to admit I was momentarily tut-tutting and clutching my pearls at the OP's misspelling of vaccinations...

Mochudubh · 30/03/2021 12:35

I had to read it a few times as well.

Classic case of people seeing what they expect to see.

AlCalavicci · 30/03/2021 12:36

@WeMarchOn
You have got us all questioning our reading capabilities ! Grin

I wonder how many pages this will go on for with posters still getting hot under the collar because they have not the OP properly and RTT

Sleepdeprivedmama1 · 30/03/2021 12:36

100% agree, Hawaii would be ideal. Do you think it'll be covered within the vaccine passport?!?

Or a big one called Boris.

It will be nice to be able to go away again at some point.

But...then I’ll just switch my anxieties back to climate change again, so if everyone could try not to take lots of/long flights please, that would be good 😬

I’m very glad half-empty. As you were!

DayBath · 30/03/2021 12:37

OPs lack of engagement with this thread leads me to believe this is not posted in good faith.

waterlego · 30/03/2021 12:37

*glass, obviously

Haha same here!!! I was just like FFS another one pushing their opinions on everyone again!!!Angry

Good one OP!!

To be fair, my jab was the nearest thing I've had to a day out all year.

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 30/03/2021 12:41

No. I don't think it's right to force people.

I'll take several for the team! I'll take the beach & forest ones. I'll leave the glam
Ones for others!

I thought the same about my smear test Grin

It was just nice to get out the house and have an excuse to brush my hair...

@Pashazade

Oh dear lord that took me far too long to compute!
Yes me too Sad
Woodpecker22 · 30/03/2021 12:43

I agree OP. I don't want a UK one though, would much rather have a US one.
