So far I’ve had two days of sitting in the car before being told to go home on full pay…

I just snoozed, drank tea, watched YouTube, read the posts on here and drank more tea!!

If you have a good Internet package on the phone watch films on Netflix!!!

Another one of my mrs cds , it’s like a party in here going down the motorway when the mrs is with me , loves her mowtown / soul

Hope you make it through the night doze, it could be the best thing that ever happened to you, you’ll be back to the way you were tomorrow mate.
In fact, Tomorrow will be fine, I heard that through the grapevine.
If you get bored take a midnight train home.

Very good rob , impressed

That’s it 9hrs 30 , 6- 15.30 in the car , I don’t know whether to give myself a pat on the back for sticking it out , or a kick up the ass for still being here , I’d of not stuck this ■■■■ years ago , off tomorrow so you can have some peace & quiet , dozy & out

Dozy, just go home, you don’t need the money. By the looks of that wallet, you could check your brake lights with that thing!

Read a book.

How far from home are you?
Just sneak home,… or phone for a lift if you think they need to see your car in the park.
Then if they phone you say you’ve walked to shop, and you’ll be back as soon as.

He’s Not that bright

I have a Nintendo Switch for situations like this arise. Time soon fly’s by.

Is that wet wipes?

Pleased your impressed doze…That’s what friends are for.
Just don’t change your mind. :sunglasses:

Sorry mate, once I get going I just can’t stop. :blush: :laughing: :laughing:

Spare & sitting in your own car and complaining that you are cold? FFS Go back in the office and tell them either they find somewhere for you to sit comfortably in the warm or you will be reporting them to the HSE.

Oh I forgot you’re against the idea of Unions because they do nothing for you.

Is there not some H&S law where it needs to be a certain minimum temperature for you to work in?
Technically if he’s on stand by he’s working, as he is being paid,.so I would reckon you’re maybe right.

I’m personally all for these regs that can be used for our benefit,.it’s a good stick to beat them with, …they are quick enough to use certain stupid regs against us when it suits them.

True to form…

Dozo the bozo gets his Y fronts twisted and sweaty. For a man who claims to tell management where to get off, you’re acting like a lost child in a big scary train station.
I’ve done standby work for Arla out of Leeds. First night sat on my arse reading the paper for 4 hours. Second night asked for the keys to a motor that had a night heater, fell asleep in that for 4 hours. The following week, I told the agency I would remain at home, if the phone rang, I’d go in and cover, if it didn’t, I get paid 8.

The clown loser fails again. I hope you get hypothermia next time.

That’s the way to do it. Always used to do that for Royal mail on their flex shifts, but you’d get 12 hours pay if you stayed 8 hours :open_mouth:
I remember one week sleeping 6 nights in the same unit and never turning a wheel for net of £1000+ :grimacing:

Spare driver is degrading. The employee surrenders their will and persona to the needs of the employer, spare driver takes that to a yet more humiliating level

Just don’t forget to do your manual entries next day,
probably
06:00-06:05 other work
06:05-15:25 P.O.A
15:25-15:30 other work

Or do we need to restart the discussion regarding periods of availability??

Why not break from 0605 until 1525? It’s not as if he had prior knowledge or experience as to how long he’d be sitting around.

I think that in this case you really should restart the discussion regarding POA.
