  • Oi,

    I'll have you know that only last month I re-released my "Faith" album, and it sold out in all HMV shops within the first day.
    (And I bet I get more mentions in the newspapers than you do!)

    The average working week in the industry is 55hrs. The maximum working day is 15hrs and the maximum working week is 84hrs. When was the last time you worked 15hrs a day or 55hrs a week?

    Are you sure?
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

    Absolutely - I did the job for 16 years....

    You can do 6 days maximum. You can do 3x15hrs and 3x13hrs. Guess what that adds up to?

    And although the WTD limits it to 60hrs, that is only work as PoA and breaks are excluded so with a careful application of PoA and breaks, you can do an 84hr week.

    You can actually squeeze 7 driving periods into a 6 day week, quite legally. The legislation states that a weekly rest period must be taken no later than 6 x 24 hour periods after the end of the last weekly rest, and you can get 7 in. It's not common, however.

    So how do you get 7 in when you have used 6 days then need to take a 24?
    Time for a refresher course? ;)

    Not been in the industry for 3 years....no intention of going back. Only got one thing wrong and not done split daily rest for at least a decade so not too shabby :D
