Well said Sir ...Over to you Union I won't hold my breath..

Not much of a rant is it, you get a weekend (Sun +Mon) every week and you then get angry because someones upset he hardly ever gets 2 days off in a row.

I did not want to upset any one,the point I was trying to make is that I don't get Saturdays off.
