That does seem very unfair LPH

My wife will also be in the same position as me, in that she won't be allowed to take any leave during the Olympics. Who'se going to look after our kids as it'll be the school holidays?

They've not said but probably not. We will probably be forced to take it in spring and autumn.

Why would you not be allowed leave during the Olympics and Paralympics then?

You need to be a bit more dedicated, sleep in the office and don't go home
