I can do over 13 hours on my last shift despite having done 3 reductions because I’m off all weekend and it’s my time

If you’re on break and someone wants to talk to you about work related stuff then you need to restart your break from the beginningIf you answer the phone to the boss or another employee during your break then you need to reset your break clock
(This one might actually be true so I stand to be corrected)They are both true. If your break is interrupted by work duties, then this should be recorded, that is the letter of the law.
How drivers apply the law in practice when they are inadvertently interrupted is up to their own judgment, but a good rule of thumb of where the interruption can be disregarded, are those situations where nobody would have any objection if it wasn’t disregarded - if you follow me.
So if your boss is ringing briefly with important news, or if he’s interrupted you accidentally with some trivia, and either way he wouldn’t mind you restarting your break afresh once he’s done (either because the news was too important to wait, or because he is contrite for interrupting you needlessly), then that’s an example of something I’d ignore.
If you have a boss who is ringing every 20 minutes, and would hit the roof to hear you’re restarting the break as a result of his latest checkup, that’s a prime example of where I’d restart the break afresh each time I received any interruption.

I don’t mind getting a phone call when I’m on a break. As I often don’t have phone signal is perfectly acceptable to me if I get a call.
But if anyone phones between 2.00 and 2.15 pm, it better be ■■■■■■■ important. Even the wife won’t phone at 7pm.

Top man - I usually get moaned at for not answering when swmbo rings, no matter how many times I tell her that I won’t answer between 7-715 
It’s taken time but she had finally got it. Usually she phones after 7.15 before I goto bed. She phoned last week before 7 and it confused me. I went to bed early and missed it.
