I know a bloke who works for stobart and they had to book Boxing Day off because they say it’s not a bank holiday, 
He tried to book it off and was refused so has to work for normal time.
Shocking if true.
The obligatory milk tankers, farm feeds, dozens of farmers in their LRs/pick-ups/quadbikes (complete with wind-swept sheepdog on their shoulder, always make me chuckle for some reason), a couple of Sawyers, the AA, a couple of chemical tankers, several ODs, Egertons, and a copper sat in his 4x4 at the cordoned-off entrance to the Fleece; don’t know if there’d been any shenanigans or it was actually shut for the day & he was just sat there having a chill-out.
Oh, and a DPD van tear-arsing about. 
Been a great day, my 8hr run actually took 8hrs!
Be different tomorrow when the cheap-swag Muppet Show starts though.

What’s shocking about it? These days most shops open Boxing Day, so somebody’s got to re-stock them. The days of triple time etc on bank holiday working are long gone mate. I doubt if the legendary Tesco shelf stackers get owt extra.
