Are you forced to take them before the end of the year (in which case you are forced) or do you have the "option" of just losing them?
Well if you dont use them you lose them so its best to just have some days off (of your choice if there available) rather than lose them!
Postman- yes i have odd days mainly due to NOT being allowed to have them off when i need them
I get given a sheet with my holidays on, exact dates, well in advance. I take them all as I'm told, and never have any carried over.
With two kids at school, I've never had a single day when they've been off (other than Christmas), and haven't been on holiday with then for three years.
Think I'll ask about my 2011 summer hols soon, see if I can have them in august with the schools, instead if June or September.
What? Are you saying that your holiday dates are picked for you?

Not in my office, I've carried over several weeks and I've known others to carry over more, it's up to the local management to agree it.
Yes you can carry over more than 5 days if your manager agrees it (Way Forward agreement 2000).
If the reason you didn't take them was sickness then they should be carried over anyway.

Exactly.
Have you never queried this? Is it only you?
Nope, never asked. The sheet just gets put up, and it has everyones hols on. As far as I know, nobody gets odd days to take when they like.
I'm going to see how to go about getting time off in the school hols.
