I believe they can add 30 minutes to one day of the week, but you will have 30 minutes taken off another day, they can do that once per week. Pretty sure thats right but someone will have it in writing somewhere.

You're talking about flexing. Again that is entirely voluntary.
i didnt realise it was voluntary, so the dom cant make a day shorter to extend another day ? Not sure how it works if voluntary, why would anyone volunteer to do it ?

I believe this link explains it better than I could:

*edit: hmm, having read the whole thread properly, maybe it doesn't clear things up too well! It's voluntary to my knowledge, I've never yet know it to be enforced and people have refused the option at my DO before, and others have agreed to it, if it suits them.

Only if both parties agree can they get you to flex. You still have the right to say no.
