It is called holidays...

So the whole of london is going to go away on holiday in the same 2 weeks
as the Olympics? Someone better tell the airports and ferry ports or there'll
be chaos!

It's OK the outgoings will be balanced by incoming. And last time I
looked the Olympics lasted nearer three weeks.

Meanwhile back in the real world , unless you're a teacher then you don't
get the option of having the whole of the summer off and most people don't
take 2 week holidays anymore anyway. 1 week is the norm these days.

Really? Perhaps in your strange world but folk with children will have
to take some time off during the summer to fit in with the school
holidays and if you are going any distance it is best to take at least
two weeks off otherwise the travelling time takes a disproportionate
amount out of your holiday.
