ROFL. I hate it when things get lost in translation...in English.

The attitude of the Americans, who take an average of just 16 annual holiday days, including public holidays, differs greatly with that of some European nations. The Italians, for instance, take an average of 42 days, while the Germans take 35 days. The average in Britain is 28 days and the French take 37 days.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we considerably more productive than most of Europe? Wonder if those numbers have anything to do with that?

I believe that Winston Churchill said that we are two peoples, separated by a common language.
