Eh? What? - You mean the poncy clean end of manufacturing.

In the good old days ( Que Hovis music ).

I used to fight to work those days at the steelworks. - no management in and you got your holidays to take in the summer.

Also successfully negotiated once a 12 hours shift on Christmas and Boxing day. - 48 hours pay in my pocket, and 48 hours time off in lieu ( more summer hols ).

NoNo · Nov 30th, 2006, 10:16 AM

Morning! Another 6 AM start today

Tutoring and then meeting my brother for some Thai tonight. Can't wait for the weekend!

yellowmininy · Nov 30th, 2006, 10:16 AM

Good morning, all. Will be working Christmas, but off the following week.
