The smokers still spend an average of 15 minutes per fag, up to 5 times per shift by my reckoning, smoking and chatting outside and, now that mobile 'phones have been banned indoors, more staff are going outside during working hours to make those all-important calls; you hear them asking questions like "What ya doing now?" or "Awful weather here - how about you?"
We even have a contractor in one day per week and his hours are 08:30 until 11:00 but he never get here before 08:50.
My hours are 08:00 until 15:30 4 days per week and I'm usually in by 7:45 and sometimes have to work past my time as even my manager sneaks off early! stevmk2

Re: Timekeeping
Well all you lot are too good to be true
. I usually allow plenty of time, but what annoys me is, at the last minute something always happens to put me behind, like the phone rings, or I can't find my purse, or glasses, etc.
Then, when I try to put my foot down to avoid being late, I get stuck behind a learner driver, a tractor, or some old biddy driving at 18 mph, like I did this very morning! Mostly I manage to get there on time, but usually only by the skin of my teeth!
