I don't know if there is an official national agreement but we are told we must ring in at the same time as our shift is due to start.

Soon they will conduct us for having a s**t. I mean come on, what sort of place is it that they throw conducts around like it's going out of fashion?

Anyway looking at whats posted it looks like your mate did nothing wrong. Let them conduct him, your pal will win - its now in black and white.

Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
