    To be the voice of sense and reason, there's no way I could afford to do it with my business. Yes, you're working the same amount of hours but outside of manufacturing or process-driven industry there's no way that extra hours at the start/end of the day are as good as an additional day.

    The Europeans do a strange thing when the shops open later, close for tea then open in the evening.

    Not too bad an idea because the amount of times I have had to book a full day off just because of opening times is ridiculous.
    People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.

    Have done this and its a great way to work. Doubt it would come it though as may manufacturers and retailers are 24-7 so need full time cover.

    Whatever the shift pattern still only work 40 hours a week worked Jon. Another option - job-sharing to provide cover and reduce unemployment?

    May be a non-starter here. :'(

    As a society, perhaps the Gambians place more emphasis on family and social life and less on worshiping at the altar of 'big business' than we do?

    If it fits around the then I think it's a good idea. My boss does a 9 day fortnight so she has alternate fridays off.
