is anyone working christmas day?
i’m not. 
No, but I would if my boss came up with a decent trip abroad. Went to Amsterdam last Boxing Day for a run out, just to get some duty frees.
Not for all the rice in China!
Not a chance. I’ve got a life and money aint everything, family first 
yes, father christmas. its multidrop dont you know. 
I’ve done it in the past, drove from Novgorod to Moscow on Christmas Day 1994, although the 25th December is just a normal working day there. Felt a bit strange writing 25/12 on the tacho card, I must admit…
In the yard on Christmas Eve twiddling my thumbs. Then gonna belt it down to Truro to meet up with the girlfriend and her family. 75mph all the way baby!!!

I herd the transport manager wants him to do over 6 billion drops world wide in 9 hours, and he’s sending him out over weight on the rear axle of the sleigh
Yes help christmass din ,wash up tidy up get this get that do the other,cn you go get some and while your there can you, it is harder than driving a volvo around the country
I would if asked to - once the presents are opened it’s usually just a case of eat too much, start drinking and eating mince pies for the sake of it (even when full) and trying not to get too stressed about kids running riot 
The last three years I’ve got my 12bore out and gone for a wander round a farm!
any one working xmas eve could easily be working xmas day, it could easily go-pear shaped xmas eve and end up in a night out and running back in xmas day.
so my answer is nnnnnnnno-well maybe,who-knows
i would work it this year if i could, really not looking forward to it this year
im workingxmas eve though
Hopefully i will be. I have asked but haven’t heard anything back yet.

hiya,
Ran to Glasgow fully freighted from Dundee one Christmas Eve had two boxes of shampoo which i could’nt deliver going through because of bereavement at the firm, it was a little wholesalers in Govan and there was a sign on the door saying opening times was 7.30 am to 5.30 pm daily and due to the circumstances would re-open on 25-12-1958 i sat on the step with the two boxes and spot on 7.30 the door opened boxes was signed for and i was underway homeward bound at a max speed of 39 mph, there was no big stuff going south but still a cafe or two was open and surpriseingly quite a few Scottish boys was going North, got home about teatime, and believe it or not got told off for not taking the motor to the yard until Boxing Day, the firm had a ruling that no vehicles to be taken home and i had no excuse because i had a key to the yard, the old saying about you can’t do enough for a good boss is a load ■■■■■■■■.
