Pavetack,
Are you so lost in your own little world that you fail to appreciate that other people from other countries might happen to operate under different rules ? You see, the world stopped revolving around your pathetic island a f*ing 100 years ago, and has since moved on to a point where they realise that you just can't screw people around and expect them to come back asking for more. Sorry, wasn't meant as a general insult to our brit friends, but really you got to lighten up mate ! (And we'll never forget when the Lord Nelson dude and the audacity to bomb our capital back in 18xx

)
If you prefer to work 12 hours a day, or if your company orders you to do so, well that's your bloody problem ! And doesn't add to the size of your cojones if you work that long, if I may add. Trust me, I've tried it. Your di*k doesn't grow either, so please try to answer politely if you must say something at all.
Right, that vented I'll get back on the thread:
5 days nights, 7 off. 6 days evening, 7 off. Around 30K UKP at current exchange rate.
30 + 9 days holiday pa. 37 hour week. Max shift 9 hours. Free travel on company a/c, discount on assorted airlines.
