[QUOTE="Farmer Roy, post: 7206785, member: 71668"] the main thing i remember about Wiltshire was the ridiculous ( so it seemed to me ) working hours. It was winter, so short daylight hours. We started at 4.30 or 5.30 ?, then had a hour "breakfast" break at about 7, then morning tea, then lunch, then afternoon tea & finished at about 6 or 7 ? It was fu`cked - we were only actually working ( & getting paid for ) a 10 hour day, but the working day was about 14 hours long & we were starting & finishing in the dark, with very little "free" time at the end of the day. F`uck that. Id rather just work 10 hours straight without a break without all these bloody meal breaks . . . I was sharing a cottage with a young English fella who worked on the arable side. I do remember drinking a whole bottle of gin ( straight ) one night & waking up about 2.00am lying on the concrete floor in the toilet, curled around the bowl, while he was standing over me having a p1iss. The next day wasnt good . . . [/QUOTE]
