On it goes, all dreamed up by those at Waterside, who work 0900- 1700, Monday to Friday.
They have their weekends to themselves, take their substance of choice, sleep in their own bed refreshed...
Get all the gazetted public holidays.
Then return for another day, fresh, to paint a picture of a lazy and under employed workforce.
The whole construct relies on envy. That they posses in spades.
Rated de - being an Office bod (albeit not BA 0900-1700) I once asked my DFO why I could work 12hrs at the weekend for jack all, whereas a Nigel/Rupert could get £500 for working one minute into their day off - His reply was 'Angry - go be a Pilot'
So Rated if you want an Office job - go figure (and take the pay that goes with it)
