Hey, have a 37 hour week the contract says and regularly work 50. For nowt. Anyone else?
Thought it might be interesting to log who we give to, why, when and who for.
Starting now, this weekend; took leave Friday, spent 5 on work reading - the day job. Since then. Worked 6+3 sorting various for local sports club setting up for an event, so for all of us. Another 5 + 2 hours Sat and 1today. Club, so us.Again.they get cash. That helps.
Keep count with me? Country wouldn't be the same if we stopped... Cheering us on

    Nice wedding. They had a fab night. Club made a bomb on the bar. Gave it 2 days of my life for free. Anyone else or am I the only mug the country's got left? We're doomed if so. All the political parties are counting on volunteers. That's us chaps, that's us.

    Who is Martin Bryce? I'm not. Just me. Just looking for common souls. Staggered how selfish this country has become. Horrified,it's happened while I was just getting on getting on. This site is so uninformed it frightens me. Folk taking from the state and shouting against it. Horrified that this is what babies are growing up with. My kids weren't. They think for themselves. Not what I think, but that's great. Don't know you but love you too as a hunan being. Think, debate, change the world. It's the only thing were here for. Love and xxx. Vote for good, not for you.unless you're good xxx

    Sorry I was just joking. Martin Bryce was a character in Ever Decreasing Circles who organised local clubs and his neighbours. I'm sure there is no one like good old Martin in real life.

    I used to volunteer as an allotment secretary a few years ago and up until recently regularly used to put extra day job hours in at home during evenings and weekends. I stopped when I realised it was all take and no give with my employers.
