Wow, UK vacation time is 42 days a year for a university lecturer. (I can't imagine anyone not in academia in the US taking that much vacation , EVEN IF their employer gave it to them... darn workaholic culture). I don't know anyone in the US who still has a pension plan, either.

"...26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) – That’s 42 days a year!
Generous pension scheme options plus life assurance..."
