Yes, very busy, they’ve opened up a classroom for English spelling lessons, and a computer room to tell people where the spell checker is. :laughing:

Not noticeably busier than we normally are. I don’t know how busy the day lads are, but we night shift people are going home after 8 hours as usual. Still getting 9 hours’ money though! We’re working up to 23rd Dec, then shut down for two weeks; if it’s anything like the last two years, the night shift on the 23rd will be very easy.

hard to tell on the new contract since its only been going since september. the delivery side doesnt seem to be picking up much though which is a surprise. last december was absolute chaos. then again that could describe any day of the year in there :laughing:

No different, we are flat-out busy but the work isn’t seasonal so I don’t expect it to tail off in the New Year.

9

This year is up on last year for me and flat out at the moment.
Weather could hurt progress though!

We are very busy. Shocking as construction work normaly dies off this time of year. I was in lakeside and one of the shop assistants said its not as busy previous years. Although on the news we kedp hearing online shopping is up

Not really funny, have a look at the name of the person who started the thread, perhaps he is not English, in that case he does quite well

Pretty busy at our place, loads of hire trailers and hire units. I’m working my normal shift although they have given me Christmas day off, back in boxing day.

Very busy, three artics and my rigid going flat out delivering all kinds of FLT’s.

Then after Christmas we have to take all the hire trucks out again, just in time to get them all back to the customers for the Easter rush :laughing: :laughing:

Flat-out. But why do so many sites want topsoil in the winter when it sticks in trucks and buckets, and goes lumpy when re-handled?
Christmas shutdown from the 20th, which is also my last day :smiley:
