Under Thatcher (other leaders are/were available) the driving hours changed from 8 (I think) to 9 and twice a week to 10 if needed and could be spread over 15 hours rather than 12 1/2 (the hours laws are more complicated than that but that's a short basic summary but they favour the employer more than the employee.

I've just passed my medical and so have my licence for another 5 years but I didn't give a $hit if I failed - I'm not alone in this way of thinking

That has to be telling the powers that be how we feel about the job

Maybe a good idea not to work for this bunch
