Indeed Roz, a few might of, but only if there were enough for at best one vehicle team (i assume) and the ensuing support facilities were personned ie where they off-load the collection etc. If I was someone who had gone to work as per usual and my manager told me to go home and then ask me to work the weekend under not so much improved conditions, I would have had to take things in to consideration.

so often people only think about their own issues and don't think things though or see it from someone else's perspective.

Thanks for the info dbboy, just seen that....so not neccesarily a load of shirkers then.
