Lala/Thrust-Bump ...... Very entertaining, but why don't you slag each other off in private. Boring for those of us not in the "know"
Regards shifts...yes the 12 hours were great for me (Albeit a few years ago) The time off I got was fantastic, and high quality.
I was a bit boracic in those days and was able to take a second job, as did some of my colleagues. EU law (And in my current situation, Greek Law) sometimes is so restictive, and is not in favour of the employees. In many many years, I could count on the fingers of one hand (Well maybe two) the number of people that did not like shift work or 12 hour shifts. Truth be told, the early "Up" was the norm and it was rare to actually work the full time, but don't tell management.!!
