there are some guys out there who ALWAYS email early and let you know what is going on for rest...thanks!
"No need to email me about rest, with London based guys it is pretty obvious you will rest first!"
"True, but you have been in the SIm all week and i have absolutely no idea what time zone you are on or want to stay on"
"Well....you should be able to come to work and be ready to rest first or second anyway"
true.....we have to be ready to do as directed....but i think that last line comes from a chap who probably has not had to rest when he didnt want to for a couple of decades.
