It stops when the schools go back. Except for Tuesdays, thats all year. Thing is though, it's called 'lapsing' but it's just a couple of duties chopped up and done on overtime. No idea how that saves money.

IN London it's the union who have agreed to extend it until the end of September, easy when you sit in your ivory towers, never work a Saturday and have never done lapsing in their life...

The problem is being told you HAVE to do it, and when you say you don't have time they ask WHY... because I don't have time to do it... not good enough, traffic is down, you DO have time! These arguments happen every day and it causes a lot of stress. Unfortunately most just take the lapsing skip their breaks to avoid confrontation, which makes it look achievable. So it's one big vicious cycle that's very hard to break.

Do the lapsing first and then cut-off on your own walk by an appropriate amount of time
