We also have public holidays (We call them all Bank Holidays for historical reasons, but it’s things like Christmas, Easter and a couple of others), there’s usually 8 in a year and that’s on top of your 20 days.
Employers can make you work a bank holiday, you just get another day off instead. So really it’s 28 days holiday per year, with 8 of them being the public ones that you may or may not have to work.
My employer gives us 30 + the Bank Holidays, then we got took over by an American firm which ironically introduced unlimited PTO.

I get Christmas and Thanksgiving day off, and having to listen to the boss bitch about those days almost makes it not worth it.
