I've been retried for nearly ten years but I think our leave entitlement was four weeks plus Bank Holidays. (Eight days a year, in total, in England.)
Also, we were on flexi-time, and could accumulate a maximum day-and-a-half flexi-leave a month, provided our total was still 39 hours a week working time. That flexi-leave was a privelege rather than right and still had to be applied for and approved; but I did use it occasionally.

@ChampagneOnIce I used to have my own business, but I would still leave to my staff for a few weeks.

Being retired since April 22nd, 2011, my holiday has been at 365 days or 52 weeks a year ever since!

@BillyMack For a year? That’s pretty stingy. Your employer must be a miser.

5 weeks, 20 days professional development, 13-14 bank/statutory holidays (workplace closes from Christmas Day to Jan 2nd)

@CountScrofula Doesn't the "professional development" count as work? I read it as a fancy term for "training".
I went through various training schemes while working but almost all were on the firm's premises, and all were regarded as part of work.
A friend who has now all but retired from his self-employment as a builder and registered gas-fitter, was able to give himself and his wife (who also works but as an employee) two or three weeks' holiday a year by saving for it.
The bigger loss for him was the annual, compulsory "Gas Safe" refresher and re-registration; costing several hundreds of Pounds a time. It entails a week away of earning nothing while paying high tuition and registration fees, and hotel accommodation. Other compulsory accreditation schemes are similar. Then their customers wonder why the tradesmen's rates are high.

Five weeks, but I don’t use much of it.
