Civil service and flexi hours

Are there any civil servants out there who can help me weigh up a job offer please? The salary is low but the location is easy to get to and I think I'd find the work interesting. My query is around flexi hours.

I think I could fairly easily work an additional 3-4 hours each week without it really having an impact (this was mentioned at interview and I know the department is really busy). In the private sector I have easily put in this many additional hours on a weekly basis.

Am I right in calculating that if I work an extra days's worth of flexi hours every fortnight, I would end up with easily another 20+ days' I could take as flexi / leave?

I think I must be missing something because that would bring me to over 45 days annual leave.

Best thing to do is start an hour earlier every day & then if you want a long lunch or a day off you have the time. I could start at 7.00am & finish at 1.00pm & it would be classed as a full day, because it was only 6 hours I didn't need to take a lunch break either. Lots of us did this on a Friday.
