00:14As a student, no, I'd like to keep my holidays. I mean, I'm not sure what they're going to bring it down for, but for me, I'd say no. I'd keep it at 6 weeks.
00:24I've shared a bit of my ideas. I can't fathom why you'd want to do that. I think I get 6 and a half and I spend a lot of my time doing many different productive things, chilling out a bit. I think there'd be public outrage if it was reduced.
