Scandanavians deserve this, it is like their "fetivus".  :)

You guys have a horrible long winter and it is understandable that while its hot you guys get a break.

The French and Italians, however have no such excuse.  They do the same thing though and the whole of August is pretty much a write-off.

I think this is just Euro-laziness and communi...err...socialism at work.

:p ;) :)

"Europeans are now thinking that maybe they ought to work a bit longer. That's not because they don't enjoy their time off. The typical worker in Western Europe is entitled to six or more weeks of holiday and vacation days annually.

But business, and workers to some degree, have become concerned about high labor costs forcing firms to take production and jobs out of Western Europe into Eastern Europe or other regions where wages are lower.
