Quick question: If I agree to do overtime working a day off in advance, what position am I if I can no longer do it?

Can I just turn round and say I can't do it anymore (its next Monday so still enough to arrange alternate cover Id imagine)? I realise its probabaly not on generally, but whats the official position, as I'm not contractually obliged to turn up.

Today's highlights: Seeing double preppers fudge prepping when true indoor work is being referenced against the IWT on Thurs and Fri for the next two weeks, when the 30+ hour employees were all briefed in a meeting the day before to do the job properly. Oh and finding a stack of live mail dumped in one of my deads trays from my recent floating day off. :shock:

Was unable to do ~25% of my walk inside my duty hours again and still went over. :nervous

No you aren't obliged to turn up.
Yes they will be petty and childish about it.

Heavy day and really warm too. Felt like I'd aged 30 years when I'd done.
