No offence but we're not doing this again are we?

None, some, lots, everybody.
All your answers are there.
Pick a percentage.
My favourite is 22%
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

I think the number who start early are counterbalanced by the number who turn up late, go for a fag or a coffee, discuss the football and moan about how much work they have before actually doing any.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I only ever started at my proper start time, so can't say how many were in early.
But I can say all those who were due to start at the same time as me were in before me.

Just as way of comparison, I've worked in four different mail centres. Once, as I was about to finish my shift, I noticed some guy starting five minutes early. Nothing big, just setting up some yorks.

This is the only time I've ever seen this and so it stuck in my mind.

I'm afraid the horse has long since bolted on this one. No amount of moaning on about it will ever change the mindset of the perpetrators. :arrrghhh
