It's "forecast" to be one of the quietest days of the year, that's assuming everything is cleared by Christmas Eve. :nervous
Me too! I retire on the 24th :Very Happy

As you say ft, it's forecast to be the quietest of days but I remember one year when the Christmas stuff hadn't been cleared and it was horrendous mostly parcels but quite a lot of Christmas cards too.

Congratulations!

One of the lads at our d.o. retires the same day. We think he's mad to put himself through another Xmas but I suppose it'll make looking after the grandbairns seem a doddle.

Its the only way DOMs will know to get at least some OPGs a day off. If you're working on Saturday 27th I think you'll be lapsing.

We've been informed that because traffic is expected to be extremely low to be prepared to absorb 7 Dutys, we only have 20 to start off with.
