They're doing a brilliant job under difficult, almost impossible circumstances. I mean, it must be very hard, mending a fence. You've got to take away the old fence, probably do some digging, put in a new fence, bit of concrete perhaps. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. The trauma, the anguish, the heartache. No, no, really, I can't bear to think of how those poor devils must suffer. Please, honestly, let's leave it there, it'll do none of us any good to dwell on it.Richard Eastcliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10514972891192411470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-1145469445461910132006-04-19T18:57:00.000+01:002006-04-19T18:57:00.000+01:00But to be fair, they would have to work a 576 hour...But to be fair, they would have to work a 576 hour day, by our standards (based on an 8 hour working day). <BR/>Plus they would have, also by our standards, on average, 2880 days of holiday to take every year. How the hell can they squeeze that in? You know they're going to lose out.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry, but my heart goes out to them!Lucy Mailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269768852893564992noreply@blogger.com
