No Sunday working for me as its a pitiful hourly rate a few pence over the SA rate and for coming in early I dont think so since they scapped the early shift allowance.

Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Ive no trouble with that and in the past (when it was much easier) i used to work OT nearly every day. The few that will start at 4am will be dead on their feet by the time they finish. :sad:
We're doing diversion work on nights, 12-6am then the walk after. Easiest money i've ever earned tbh, sat doing a bit of sorting isn't exactly tiring.

I don't usually bother with OT except at xmas when I hammer it for beer money :nana Had written confirmation that our £600 revision money is getting paid next week as well, though i'll believe that when i've spent it :hmmmm
