Well,
I've read through this post with interest, some good arguments for both sides, personally to me it has never bothered me if ff's have a kip in the small hours, as long as they have woke up when they come to bail me out of my kitchen when i have fallen asleep and left the chip pan on :-) (not done it yet) then i dont give a stuff if they have spent the other 10 hours on shift asleep. as usual in this country some sort of PC gone wrong is at work i think,
so its out with the beds and in with the XBOX and PS2's then i guess,
ask your selves this , would you rather your fireman rescue you when he has had 3 hours rest and is fresh as a daisy or come to your aid with square eyes from sitting at the PS2 for the past three hours LOL,
i am not suggesting anything and only aimed to lighten the mood a little :-)
