I was a shift worker until age 43 and always tried to avoid Christmas Day because we attend Midnight Mass at 24th 2300. However, I volunteered for every day or night otherwise, and especially New Year.
The poor married ones of our armed forces do not have the luxury of volunteering to cover for strikers. Thank you, boys and girls, from a grateful old git!
