Bridge days: turn 2011 holidays into longer breaks
Assumes a Monday–Friday job and statutory holidays only: take the workdays sandwiched between a holiday and a weekend off and the breaks join up. Your employer's schedule decides.
No 2011 bridge gives more than 2.5 days off per leave day; the long weekends above are the best deals.
