What time are you HOPING to be home by,on Xmas Eve?

Post by guyscliffe »

With years gone by,we have regularly been home by 1pm,quite easily.
Am quite interested in knowing what time the powers that be,are gonna be allowing you to get home with your families to start your Xmas's ...
I have visions of DOM's all around the country,going out to purchase a couple of machine guns with a banner above his/her head saying"YOU WILL WORK,TO YOUR TIME"
Maybe getting you to put out the following weeks households,or putting EVERYONE on the IPS until 4pm to make a head start,for when everyone heads back into work after xmas ...
Saga Mags,Readers Digest .... etc ...

The Dom at our daily huddle this morning said that MC's were going to push 2nd class for Saturday
thru to Friday to try and make saturday quiet or quieter.
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.
