Paul Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I am in Brighton.I do odd shifts though. 4 day week and this means two days off every week. These are Mon/Tues, then the following week will be Wed/Thurs and the week after that will be Fri/Sat so basically every third week I get Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon/Tuesday off.Sundays are all over the place, we don't do one on/one off. Sundays are a good earner so they are always easy to get rid of if I want to.So my next two days off will be this Wed/Thursday with next week being Friday/Sat/Sunday then the Monday/Tuesday off, five days in total every third week.At the moment I have every long weekend booked away until the end of September. Can do the weekdays though, nowt planned for mid-week days off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 (Both South West and Southern (Fratton) are recruiting at the moment, they are on similar rates of pay.My lot are looking at recruiting at Brighton around December........)Anyhow, back on topic, I will be off and about tomorrow (Wed) and Thursday too if it is not raining too hard and anyone fancies a ride out. I was thinking of heading over towards Kent. Around Tenterden, down to Battle and back via the twisties through Heathfield and so on...
