    When working shifts, because of having more spare time at home, it enabled me to book things like doctor, dentist, hospital appointments (for example) to fit in with my rota pattern. When doing 9 to 5, it usually meant either booking a half day's holiday & sometimes a full day. I enjoyed working shifts more, too.

    God I hated nights as I got older
    Recovery period became longer
    Days off were just recovery days to me
    Each to their own.

    As far as I was concerned Glynn, there was still a novelty aspect to working shifts by the time I retired. Had I been doing them all my working life & not known anything else, I think my attitude may have been different. My work colleagues certainly didn't share my enthusiasm for shift work!:D
