I would like to thank David Skillern first of all for the excellent write up there on this year's Blackpool event. Fabulous to hear people like Keith and Bill attended this year's event!
I know people believe that for all workers you can get time off if you want it and they therefore see it as any mention of the word work, then you are making lame excuses. For firemen, Police, Nurses etc, they have worked annualized hours for years. For myself, it's something that was forced upon us all around 3 years ago now. Believe me, it is a totally draconian system to have to work by. No holidays except the ones you generate for yourself by working on top of what is already a 50 hour Working week each time I'm in.
I am not bleating as I am reasonably well paid for what I do but what I will say is that unless you have had to work in these modern day systems of working, most people cannot begin to believe what sacrifices have to made just to stay employed.
It is very much a case of "your life in their hands" nowadays for anyone working these patterns. When you're in, you're in...no excuses. That is,if you want to remain in work.
