It sounds gruesome but its actually pretty cushy. 5pm to 8am Mon - fri. 7.30 to 7.30 (either nights or days) at weekends. Unofficially we arent expected to stay awake doing those kind of hours, and arent actually expected to do much at all apart from keep an eye on things from time to time. I often do five nights in a row (mon - fri) so 75 hours, and then have a week off after. I did 13 in a row once, had three days off and then did another five. That was way too much and I wasnt really safe to drive to and from work, so wont ever do it again. Ive been doing it for just over 15 years, and hope to keep doing it for another five and a half years until Im 70. Matty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fuckers caused me two detours in France recently . I managed to stay away from the motorways for most of the trip. You should give credit to the Dutch they were the first farmers in the EU who protested about net zero regime. And they did not damage other peoples property. The French are including removing net zero demands. They wrapped it up with the banning of cheap food imports from other countries. When I see them setting fire to lorries and letting wine or milk flow over the road then they loose my support. Truckers also have costs and a living to earn too. myglaren and Wibble 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe the the right to protest and this issue really needs to be bought to the public's attention. But sometimes some go too far. I personally feel that damaging another property is that step. I really felt lucky that I was not held up for days, as some reports are saying is happening to road users.
