Never mind any strike. Just check your tickets aren’t with United Airlines.

In Friday (rostered) then 2 weeks leave. To be spent mainly flitting between the sofa and the pub, looking forward to the remaining 6½ accumulated weeks off the road by the end of September.
Not me, I’m here this weekend.

We always worked Good Friday and had the tuesday off instead to save the quarry breaking into two seperate weeks. Friday was usually quiet traffic wise as folk had set off on the thursday evening, however the thursday could be total bedlam and I remember being sent near Oxford from Atherstone on the thursday lunchtime with a load of tarmac and taking over five hours to get back home to Matlock due to traffic on the M1! 
Thank goodness for those large tacho discs!!

For those that have 4 days off - that gives the week prior to easter and the week after easter a regular weekly rest

i wonder where drivers got the i dont have to work bank holidays from…firms i have worked for have all insisted that its not on offer…depending on the work load, some jobs are dedicated and allocated…some you win…some you lose…if you were on a rosta, you had no choice, if you were salaried.and bank holidays were on your shift, you had to work them…the same as rest days…if mondays were your rest days, you were very lucky as all bank holidays are on a monday ( apart from easter friday, and christmas/boxing days )…but the good old days were much better…double time and a day in lieu…= treble time…lubbly jubbly.

Thankfully ES don’t do canal transport, as otherwise you might see a bow plowing over the top of that top lock!

Not wishing to be pedantic…
But wouldn’t that be: Going up, or having come down?

I mostly work in France: Good Friday isnt a holiday here, so itll be service as normal. Monday is a Bank Holiday, so most trucks will be banned, and so a day off for me.I would have expected France to have a bank holiday on the good Friday being a Catholic country.
Not a holiday in Ireland either

Went up yesterday, going down tomorrow, up again on Sunday, down again on Monday then up again on Tuesday.
My place never closes, doesn’t matter if it a normal day or Christmas day its business as usual
