I’ll add that earlier is better but be mindful of some road closures, especially on the M4 w/b atm that don’t reopen till 6am, although sometimes rain does stop play and they buggar of home early but the matrix don’t seem to get updated. Those diversions could add 20 mins or so until you get to the next closure and there another 20 mins added…40 mins is a long time when cutting it fine anyway. I think there’s a couple of closures in both directions on M4, around 1st & 2nd of September…glad I’m off to Rhodes for 2 weeks in a couple of days

I reckon you have missed out on a nice little earner by not thinking about it. The company want to breach the terms of your contract and also get you to leave at a time which not only suits then, but which will make the job easier for you to do ( and get their vehicle back.) So make them PAY for it. Any union negotiator worth his salt would have said no… BUT grease his palm with a one off £500 compensatory payment for lack of prior warning and the job can go ahead.
