It's six and two threes.
Great to be off when everybody else is working. Going to the beach in summer, to the Ardennes in winter, during the week.
Unfortunately after more than 35 years in the job I ended up with a severe sleep disturbance problem ( I eventually fell asleep during a Supervisors' meeting - easy enough to do anyway
) and had my licence revoked. Two years later I'm just getting back to normal.
I still don't regret it though. Much better than having to work for a living.
Just remembered another down side, steer clear of relationships with a member of the same watch. Being together 24/7 is not good for a permanent relationship - it made 12 years of my life seem like 50 - and no time off for good behaviour
