Just to go back to the leave stuff. Do you get the extra 2 days on your anniversary of employment or is it in the next calender year? Mine is coming up...
Sorry I didn't realise how complicated I made that sound. I met a fellow signaller whilst we were traveling on the bakerloo line one morning (me to work and him going home). He said he worked at New Cross Gate, and I asked him was it the same when TfL owned the line and it was the ELL on the...

Residents:
Fixed pattern of days/nights (you can work out exactly what shift you are doing months or even years in advance). Rostered Sundays (that you can ask to be booked off from without using annual leave allowance). Work 1 location. You may have general purpose relief shifts in your...
