Fireworks - lack of sleep - cancelling work

Ask your wife to make you a cup of Ovaltine and take a full box of Nytol. That should get you a full nights kip and stop you spouting rubbish on here for a few days !

Have you been reading the book of bloody stupid random questions by toby8910 ? :neutral_face:

Just checking we the date … No its not April !st … :unamused:

ROG:
Has anyone on here had to cancel work the next day due to fireworks causing them to have too little sleep making them unsafe to drive ?

I know I have a few times over the past 25 years

You wouldn’t do too well having an average truck driver’s night out then, a layby on the A1, Dover Docks, a steelworks etc. :unamused:

Monks Of Stift Heiligenkreuz “monk Chant” helps me :slight_smile: and relaxs me out

When my son kept me awake quite a bit as an infant I did warn work I might need an extra break here and there (no problem as I’d warned them I got varied easy work), but I didn’t get to the stage where I couldn’t go in. It did cross my mind though a few times…

NO, i’ve never had to cancel work due to fireworks making me have to little sleep.

Going by that advice Rog I should have phoned in and cancelled around at least 5 years worth of my 15 years on nights for one type of disturbance or other. :open_mouth: :smiling_imp: :laughing:

Fireworks have never bothered me,i can usually sleep through anything,if i’ve had a ■■■■ poor sleep the night before work,i just get some kip where i can during the working day.

And we wonder why the country’s gone down the toilet, no i agreed to go to work (not just turn up) for my pay and i’m going come hell or high water, just like my dad and his dad did.

ur Buggered then Rog cause the big ones TONIGHT :unamused:

I was in bed at 9pm Saturday night with fireworks going off all around the estate. No fancy white noise or earplugs. Not even a comforting beer to ease my slumber. Then I was up at 3:30am for a 5am start, picking up stock loads from Hull to the warehouse. 14hrs later I pull my card. I didn’t get to bed till 11pm. Then I’m up at 5:05am this morning for a 6:45am start. All I had to do was MTFU and get on with life. I’ve more pressing things in life to deal with than worry about fireworks and other noises in the environs around me

respect to the lads or lasses out there celer et audax

What was started as a sensible logical safety thread has obviously deteriorated into something else - shame because I know of quite a few drivers who are affected by this issue
