How do you do It in the UK to afford holidays that regulary?
How do you do It in the UK to afford holidays that regulary?

So i am from Alicante. The other day i was talking with an English woman that was having some break in Torrevieja.

I was suprised because she was a cleaner at a hospital and she could book holidays outside of summer.

In Spain a hospital cleaner cannot afford holidays.

How is possible you can pay that much to non skilled workers?.

I think I haven´t expressed my question properly:

What I wanted to say is:

Do you get paid that much in the UK to be able to afford a vacation?

Does your boss really let you choose vacations outside the summer?

Is it that easy to find a job in the UK (she told me)?


Do people in the UK really care about Eurovision as much as Radio 2 seems to think?

I have hit my 30s and in the last couple of years I made the transition from Radio 1 to Radio 2. Generally I really like it, but at this time of the year it seems to be Eurovision fever on every show, and gives the impression that 99% of listeners are seriously invested in Eurovision. Do as many people actually care about it as BBC Radio 2 seems to project?
