That’s always my favourite. “I’d love to Boss, but she says I can’t. She’s offered to come down and explain it to you if you want”.

I agree, why don’t they just tell you straight they’re no going to the pub with you now or ever 
I Think captain Barbosa in ‘Pirates of the caribbean’ said it best to miss swann,‘‘I feel disinclined to acquiesce to your request, means no’’.
Try saying that to the boss,you’ll be out the door Before he’s worked it out.
Ive been to about 40 different weddings this year,
I dont get asked about saturdays no more.
To be fair though i did say on my interview, monday-friday im your ■■■■■. saturday and sunday im a dad.
A mate of my be who Iv mentioned before on other threads is the biggest yes man I know and simple can’t say no to his firm.
He actually lost a day of his family holiday this summer as he couldn’t say no to working Saturday,then he rings me up ranting and raving about it and says he if scared of been sacked if he says no.
The other drivers at his firm say no and don’t get sacked
I lose patience with him at times.
Taking the goldfish to the vets is the best one I have heard from a driver trying to swerve a crap job!
I don’t mind Saturday working, but I’m not keen if I see the water bowser being towed in, it means truck washing time. 
It never ceases to amaze me how many alternative jobs I can find to do when the dreaded pressure washer is out. 
I’ve been working with many drivers as I am part of a relocation company based in London:
So far there has not been a problem to find someone that is really capable of doing their job professionally.
Ofc there are always exceptions of the rule…
That’s a good attempt at and advert

My manager asked me the other month how big my porch was because I’ve been tiling it every sat/sun for the last 2 years

No it wasn’t Well spotted, Rikki 
I’ve had to bring my girlfreind away for the weekend for her birthday 3 or4 times this year
At last count I’m on 7 weddings 4 barmitzvahs and a circumcision (sounds like a dodgy film title).
Telling everyone I’m Jewish gives me the edge on weekend work dodging.
Shalom…
Getting pedantic here, but unless Saturday or Sunday is part of your normal working week, your holidays don’t start until Monday.
Nowadays it’s more likely to be “I can’t do that - it’s illegal”

You benefit from this kinda thing when working for a firm with strong Jewish credentials as well…
I’ve never been called in on a saturday as yet, but I have to work sunday as part of my main hours.
Friday? - Every other as overtime if I want it. That’ll do me.

A bit more pedantic, most working weeks start on a Sunday end on a Saturday. even in your stance, he works 5 of 7 Mon - Fri ,he is entitled to 2 rest days Sunday and Saturday … So the holiday starts on a Sunday with the rest day prior.
Basically that’s what I meant, but I simplified it to a Monday to Friday working week. Anyway, if it wasn’t for the Leylandist’s, or was it the Fordist’s the world wouldn’t be in the mess it’s in at the moment with Europe being run from Brussels and ze Germans telling everyone what to do. You’d all be on a nice five day week with decent motors like Guys, Thornycroft and Scammells with no heaters or anything. I wish carryfast and rjan were here to discuss this.
No more being drunk in charge of a keyboard for me.
