20 days isn't considered generous in the UK, as it includes public holidays, of which there are 8 in each year. That means you are only entitled to 12 days on top of what you can expect as a matter of custom.

In practice many people do rather better - it's not uncommon for an employee to have 20 days paid leave, plus the eight public holday days, adding up to 28. If you get into management, you would normally have 25 + 8. In my current job I have 25 + 8 + 1 for five years' service.
