This rumour started at our place when the eejits in Brusseles yet again tried to make more changes.
People who are non mobile workers recently were told they could not opt out of the 48 hour working week but apparently for once in his life Phony Bliar stood up for the British workforce ( am i allowed to call us British or would that be racist and upset ethnic minorities) but they are now again allowed to opt out of the 48 hour working week.
I think this myth comes from that scenario, there was a momentary happiness form our drivers who thought that POA would end and we would only be allowed to do 48 hours start to finish but unfortuanely we have POA as mobile workes which noone else in the UK can use unless they are driving a truck.
