Working Xmas day night, start on call New Year's Eve. Think of the money!!!!!

 

[Plonker 3]

Worked christmas morning the other year. It wasn't that bad to be fair, dont do anything until lunch time with the family anyway, still got to the pub at the usual time and earned a few quid in the process.

 

[telectrix]

i will go out to emergencies if called. regulars get priority.

 

[Knobhead]

Never had Chistmas off for 18 years.

Stop moaning! Good excuse to get out of the house.

 

[telectrix]

[Sparky_Steve]

Working Christmas eve day, Christmas day then nights boxing day and 27th nights xmas related is triple time all 4 12.25hr shifts just thinking of the money and skiing in January

 

[Lewiiss]

We had some planed works for the rail Christmas shut down Christmas eve through to boxing day night. But that got called off so just on call the whole 2 weeks. Its worth the money.

I'd rather have Boxing Day and New Years Day off and go to work Christmas Day......................They are the best 2 days for sport in the calendar year.

[Octopus]

I'd delegate the Xmas working to the staff, but I don't have any so its up to me, if the phone rings and I've not had a drink!

[Robotstar5]

There was a waiting list to do the xmas safety cover at Longbridge, go in at 0900, have a cup of tea, one lap of the factory followed by another cup of tea and clock out at 1100. Got paid 4 hours at treble time for it

Not really greedy, it's a case of some people have no choice wether they work or not. It's part of my contract that bank holidays are covered by at least 1 person

have u actually thought that some of the guys on here are working cos they actually need the money, possibly to pay for christmas, and therefore have no choice to do it either

how very noble of you,I did the same a few years ago with the fire service,its nice to be able to put something back isnt it.this year I will only be turning out for real friends with real emergencies,one year I was asked to locate a gas leak for a disabled couple by friends as transco had turned of their gas,I'd had quite a few so they had ma picked up,even half cut I found the leak in short order,caused by transco,lots of red faces for them a few quid for me and a very happy couple.What a result.

Neither,....this is the figure that one member here was trying to convince us, that his mate was on last year!! I can still see those little pink pigs flying around at the time!! ...lol!!

I've lost count of the number of my friends and "associates" who have given me a similar tale of yuletide riches only to change company and years later tell me what a stingy outfit they once worked for. Also,a couple of them who are on serious dough,once you break it down to hours etc,are merely on good wages but are owned 24/7 by their respective employers.
