It's 12 O'Clock, my third shift today starts now

[Stu]

I flew home on Sunday night. Plane was delayed and did not land until after 4am instead of 1am. When I was riding home on the M25, ahead I saw 3 cars stopped, 2 were both in lanes 3 and 4 & the 3rd was in lane 5 facing me. I reckon someone amongst that lot was overtired & I'm glad I didn't get caught up in it, I slowed down a lot & went thorugh the middle which probably wasn't the best idea.

I'm still ere, leaving here and doing another shift at the pub tonight, will finish there at 11 ish. My boss hasn't even said thanks or anything, bit p1ssed off TBH, and I'm knackered. Think I will remind him when I ask for Friday afternoon off to go play golf.

So you got somewhere warm to pass the time while on Xbox & Internet etc. & you expect to get paid for playing golf you've hardly done him a favour


Just an alternative view - I wouldn't have offered myself & then be begging for favours after.

Yeah but I was asked and said okay then yeah, so I'm expecting it to be returned. It was him up here if not me.

I think that only covers hours per week, as in you can do more than 48 hours in 7 days if you wish. However, that wouldn't abosolve an employer of their legal duty to abide by the hours worked in 24 hours.
