You're union, aren't you? |
|
|
Now, had you said to start Winter an hour later on a Friday night *after* work, I'd have bunned this. |
|
|
Last time the clocks went back, I was doing a 12-hour night
shift and had to work an extra hour for free :-( |
|
|
Everyone should get the hour as credit to use as they see fit. |
|
|
Sounds too good to be true. |
|
|
excellent idea - I'm going to take it up with my MP |
|
|
Impractical, costly and unnecessary. Bun. |

What is this "work" of which you hu-mons speak ? Your words are strange to us. |
|
|
// Everyone should get the hour as credit to use as they see fit. // |
|
|
Would they get debited in the Autumn, though ? |
|
|
How long before there is a campaign to add extra hours into Saturdays and Sundays ? |
|
|
Thus ariseth consesnsus, and the EU bureaucrats are happy. |
|
|
Too simple. Let's just rock the clock five or ten minutes every month. |
|
|
Actually, it would have to be ten minutes forward per month for six months, then ten minutes backward again, starting from the winter solstice. |
|
|
Bizarrely, that would work out pretty much right. |
|
|
So... 62 mins per hour in Winter, and 58 in Summer months - Would that work, too?
We could call the scheme GHT, "Greenwich Half Time" |
|
|
So, is this every Friday? |

If you work by the hour in the US, that's illegal. |

I work by the month in the UK |

At these wages it should be. |
