Break or POA?

Hi everyone,

Tomorrow I’ve got a dilemna. I’ve got 2 drops in MK at approx 9am. After this I’ve got a 15.00 booking at Argos at Kempston. I can’t go into Kempston until 14.45 at the earliest so I reckon I will have about 5 hours to kill in between drops. Should I use break or POA for this time? I know in advance when I can go into Argos so don’t think that’s an issue - I will be starting at about 6.30 am and want to know the best way to play it to utilise my time and hopefully get back home.
Cheers
Dave

Just realised I could have a 3hr rest period and then have a reduced rest tomorrow night if I need to :blush:

Why would you use POA if parked outside knowing you have an allocated time to go in so up until the time you go in you can dispose of that time as you may wish?

I was going to suggest that option - spoilsport :wink: :laughing: :laughing:

Tachnically speaking… to use 3 hours of that 5 hour BREAK as REST - there must be 3 hours of uninterrupted REST where you are able to dispose of the time as you see fit because you are using it as REST and not BREAK - technically speaking :wink:

If you get paid for BREAKS then using POA is pointless

It is all break, end of story, forget being able to do as you want

To edit this post, when I wrote break, that means rest in this case as opposed to POA.

The original part of the post was:

break or poa

I chose break and should have said break or rest.

Meanwhile back in the real world. :unamused: :unamused:

Exactly !! - that’s why I put ‘technically speaking’… twice :slight_smile:
