Oh ged. Another lamb to the slaughter. Lets see, I'll give you a month before you feature in one of Sally's Traffic reports: 'The M25 is closed at Clacketts due to 5 tonnes of frozen food, 250 live lobsters and 3 Mercedes C class spread across the carriageway. It seems that a new driver forgot he wasn't on his bike and tried to filter a 17 tonner between a Spanish Fridge and a Car Transporter' Good luck. -- ColonelTupperware, spouting bollocks on Usenet since 1997 Usenet FAQ at http://www.its.caltech.edu/its/services/internetapps/news/news2.shtml UPCE FAQ at http://upce.org.uk/ UKRM FAQ at http://www.ukrm.net/faq/
In uk.rec.motorcycles, Pip amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom: Time and a half on Bank Holiday's you know... They told me I need to book them off though or they're treated like any other day. Can't say it bothers me that much, it /is/ just another day, innit. The 8 o'clock start sounds ambiguous. I'm not against starting early but IME a first day at 8 means the rest of my life will be at 6. Cheers, Pal. <Passes Pip a beer and knocks glasses/bottles>

I've worked at places where you could choose to take the BH or add to annual leave to have at a more convenient time. Also where it was 1.5 + a day or 3x but then it was a rare occurrence to work them. Welcome back to the world of the wage slave and congrats.
Well done, you Yorkie Munching person you. I are well chuffed for ya. -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr M'boy's bike 2003 Honda NSR125R (Going) Spare Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X (Patio Ornament) BOTAFOT #140 (KotL 2005), X-FOT#000, DIAABTCOD #26, BOMB#18 (slow)
In uk.rec.motorcycles, Boots Blakeley amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom: BHs are treated the same as any other day unless you book it off. There was a mention of taking the overtime rate or a day and a half in lieu but mostly it was a bit of a blur. It'll seep in slowly and I've got someone showing me the ropes for a few weeks so there's enough time to get the hang of it. Ta.

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Mike Barnard amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom: Not ashamed, no. I have this feeling I'll jinx the thing if I let the cat out of the bag too early. It'll be a relief!
