[QUOTE="soberups, post: 432497, member: 14668"] I enjoy reading posts from our brothers over there in the UK. We speak the same language...sort of.... but the terms are so different. We call it a "pickup" while they call it a "collection". We work out of a "center" but they work out of a "centre." We take our kids to "day care" or "baby sitters" whilst (I mean "while") they use "child minders". I still havent figured out what "PB" or "sod's law" refers to yet, but I'm intrigued.:happy-very: To answer your question, we deal with the same issues over here. What it boils down to is that we are paid by the hour and we have to work as instructed. We have contract language that gives us some recourse if we have to continuously work over 9.5 hours, and we can request an 8 hr day twice a month except during peak season. I am assuming you guys are also union, but your contract language is probably different. What I cant figure out...is how the hell I would ever adjust to a package car with the steering wheel on the right side. I have already decided if I ever get the chance to visit England, there is no way I will even[U] try[/U] to drive a car. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
