I certainly do. Half my time off-shore seems to be having a Cowboy stretch in the Rec Room. 🤣

I must admit I get to put my feet up if I’m waiting on a tanker, but on the whole people don’t get to sleep on the job. It’s the audacity to do it in parliament that grinds a bit.

I agree. Its a piss take to be a supposedly public servant sleeping on the job when they should be running the country. In full view of cameras too. Should be a sackable offence, that would wake them up.

Wasn't he the "Father of the house" when he was having a cheeky snooze, living up to the expectations of every elderly grandparent!.

In that case he wasn't sleeping, he was listening whilst resting his eyes

Nodding off is one thing, spread out like you are on a chaise lounge is another. I’m not sure it would wake ‘em up, it seems they can do what they please and still stay in a job.

A chap who thinks he’s so entitled he can lounge about having a nap while being paid by us taxpayers, do working class people get paid to sleep on the job in full view of the public?

Firemen? 
 

They get paid for getting their fat crackers down, then get paid for playing 5 a side during the day, then go home for a kip before cracking on with the second job fully refreshed after a few watches of doing SFA at tax payers expense. Probably be out on strike soon too so that some poor squaddie has to do their job with WWII equipment and an afternoon training.

Over two thousand firefighters and control staff rally in Westminster

---

On 6 December, over 2,000 firefighters and control staff from across the UK assembled in Westminster to protest low pay after their strike ballot opened yesterday.

 

We'll be running out of squaddies at this rate!!

On the subject of strikes, who's postie is still striking?

 

Round here most now seem to be working on strike days, talking to the ones I know, they don't think the pay offer will get any better, or they don't want to lose out on any more pay for days off.

 

Apparently the big parcel centres down south are rammed out the door with packages. Maybe we should send the army in there too?
