Oh no, you can't have that week.

When I ran an office, emergencies aside, I and my deputy were never away at the same time - simple common sense.  And yet the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer are all on holiday at the same time?  It's bad luck that this state of affairs has coincided with a major financial crisis, but surely it should never have been allowed to happen in the first place?  All it needs is for somebody to be in charge of a simple holiday calendar.
