SCOTLAND FOR WORK!
Those who dislike work should dwell in Turkey and avoid Scotland, for these two countries are at the top and bottom respectively in the list of the countries of the world as regards public holidays. Turkey has twenty-six official holidays in the year, when business is entirely suspended ; thrifty Scotland has but five/ If, however, we include local public holidays, Brazil comes first with eighty-four, and the United States second with fifty-four ; but a citizen of either republic who set out to keep, them all would have to travel about quite a lot !
August is the favourite holiday month in Britain. Taking the world over, however, November comes first, twenty-six out of its thirty days being kept as official holidays hy as many different countries. May comes next, with twenty-five.
Italy celebrates twenty-three general public holidays, Germany twenty, France eighteen, Grejat. Britain sixteen, Japan fifteen, and Portugal eight.
