The regs are clear,
A day is a period of 24 hours
After 6 consecutive days a weekly rest must be taken.
The answer is therefore 6 days as defined by the regs.
Calender days are different.
Starting work Monday you could actually finish your sixth shift Saturday at an example of 3 pm, have 24 hours “Rest” resume another 6 day block at Sunday 3 pm, giving a total of 12 calender days enbloc.
You could repeat this until the end of your 4th week when compensated rest must be taken for the first reduced weekly rest.
Winseer:
12 from a fortnight out tramping. One short weekly rest taken at remote location, the 45 rest taken back home.
I count being “away from home” as being “at work” remember, so from my point of view a 6-5 fortnight with a remote weekly reduced rest is to me, the same as 11 days working on the spin, and 1 day “not at home”, making the 12 days in a row I’m “not at home”.
I won’t be taking on such a “shift pattern” until it’s hourly paid.
Even at minimum wage, 12 days x 24 hours x £6.50ph works out at £986 a week, which I reckon is about right for losing 2 weeks of your life at a time.
This, of course, is why foreign imports get brought in by foreign drivers, and we don’t get a look in. Why pay one of us decent money when you can get some roving european without a life to come over here for E200 a week, dodge our taxes and fines, and job-block us all whilst they’re at it?
Leave the EU, and we can kick this “make GB into a third world country” into touch. A protectionist policy of huge tariffs on unfair price undercutting by the rest of Europe coming over here would then allow us to do all our own work with home-grown workers. I don’t believe Cleggy for a minute when he says “millions of jobs depend upon us staying in the EU” - since even if the “millions” is not an exageration - The jobs in question have got to nearly all be remote jobs for foreigners coming over here.
Our jobs involving the EU? Loads of Customs/Police/Emergency jobs already crushed out of existence. Then there’s a few jobs created for things like “Human Rights Compliance Officers” as advertised in the Guardian which is supposed to represent “the upside” of this argument. Big deal!
First… i think im not the only one who finds this offensive and 110% racism. Im not british as u probably figured but is not immigrants fault. A lot of them come here and have no clue about laws here so they are tricked by the employer. Once they realise they were tricked they just do what everyone does. Find something better. Second… big companies and agencies DO NOT hire drivers of any nationality for 200 £ a week like u say. I just got C class 2 … been to some agencies… good ones… they offered from 9 to 13£/hr… so dont know from where u got this with 200 a week but probably u are very frustrated about different things and try to find an answer in the “immigration problem”. As a british if u are a real driver with good references no immigrant can take your job unless is better than you. Or you are the kind that is afraid of some competition? I feel pity for u honestly. And i am sorry in front of all other users of this forum but a raciest remark like this drove me mad. If i braked any laws of this forum i apologise. By the way. As immigrant on my current job i have bigger pay than other doing the same thing as me.

And? Being of a different country (foreign) is NOT a racist comment it is a fact.

So yo can read a dictionary but not the post? Chip shoulder springs to mind.
Did the poster mention people of another european state or people of another race?
In this country… all forms that i filled in (gp, home office, council etc) when i had to select was either white british either white european or other white background. That means that these are 3 different races here.
