It is also a fact that 50% of these shiftworkers will die before the age of 70, but the remainders chances are only 50-50...... ;)

I hope i'm not around at 70. were be living under muslim rule by then the way these govts give into them.

This is true, however if 50% of those 67% of the ones aged 70 keep living, what happens to the 50% of the other 67% ?

me too. hospitalised twice through 100hrs a week 7 days a week run down and stressed out all the time. we dont realise what it does to us. but now i cant wait to get back to big shifts after all this time off.

15 hour shifts on weekdays and 12 hour shifts at weekends for me. ::)

Then after all the hours at work we all manage to spend countless hours chewing the fat on here ::)

That works for me!  :y

I used to do 6 days and 5 nights alternating a couple of years ago....probably why I'm knackered now. :o
