    Some 'think tank' in the UK has suggested that we should cut the working week to................ 21 Hours[^]. Yeap, that's right! 21 Hours!! I do that in 2 days! And I quote: "The foundation admitted people would earn less, but said they would have more time to carry out worthy tasks." I assume by 'worthy tasks' they mean busking, because we'll obviously be unable to pay the mortgage. What a bunch of twats. :doh:

    For a supposed "think tank" they really didn't think this through enough.

      Sounds like some of the crap that was/is going down in a South American country. They wanted to make mandatory 4 day work weeks, which sounded great, except for 2 things hidden in the fine print: 1) people would all get 80% of their pay 2) the extra day would have to be spent doing social service work -- for no pay. You can imagine how well that went over!
