Who on here remembers from a couple of years ago, when RM said, ' try and plan your walks so that you keep out of the MIDDAY sun'.
That one always makes me crack up.

I've said this in another post but we are gonna be out from 10 till 3ish every day. No toilet stops, nowhere to have a drink or a break from the sun. And if we get a shitty winter like we have just had, would be just as bad being out for up to 5 hours in that as well. So much for health and safety.

Against H&S to issue anyone wiyh suncream, got to supply yourself for exact same reason as you mentioned. RM will not take any blame if you get sunburned as they will say you should protect yourself.....anyway with there being no mail in the summer maybe we all be finished early ;liar :oops:

We won't be alone though, senior management and top CWU reps will be in the sun too, except they'll probably be in the caribbean.
