[QUOTE=Olympic stooge;7069245]Heard this great bit of news off my Flt Sgt this morning. I have been pinged to do car parking duties for the Olympics for a month and a half. Not too bad so far. Next came the good bit, because we here at the secret super air transport base in the prime ministers back yard are less than 90 miles from London we will be sleeping on a camp bed in base hangar and will then be transported to our respective car parks to keep a check on the great unwashed public lucky enough to get tickets to the greatest show on earth.
As well as having to sleep in a hangar we are not allowed to go home (even though I live in one of her majesties finest pre fabs in cartoontown a two minute drive from base hangar) or drink during the times we will be between shifts. They haven't fully published the exact details but from what I can glean they will be 4 on 3 off.
I am looking forward to all that overtime, just like the tube drivers and
police will be earning.[/QUOTE]
Number one son is in the Met and has been told that he will be expected to work 12 hour shifts. Extra hours accrued will be paid in leave - which as he's said will then be impossible to take because of shortages. Tube drivers meanwhile will be coining it thanks to brother Crow and his sense of socialism.
