We on the committee have spent a lot of time and effort on the question of hours. I mean, different people have different opinions, obviously, and it doesn’t matter whether you ask people here or outside, they all have their own opinions about whether it’s a good idea or not. And since you get so many different opinions, it’s not easy for a committee to come to a final decision, but we have done what we think is right, and we hope that if anybody is not completely happy, they won’t take our ideas personally.
Since 1976 everybody in this firm has worked 40 hours per week – previous to that the total was 44 hours for some people and 42,5 for others - and we have no intention of changing the total. In any case, a change in the total number of hours would only be possible after proper negotiations between management and union representatives, and this is not the place to anticipate any such negotiations in the near or distant future.
This report concerns the feasibility of allowing members of staff to start and stop work at the times that suit them best; the obvious proviso is, of course, that everyone should still work a total of 40 hours per week, as we do now. The suggestion of flexible working hours was put forward to the directors by certain members of staff, particularly those who have young children at school.

While Britain is instinctively thought of by many as ‘England’, so also the idea of England evokes images of the Queen, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London and the soft landscape of the southern counties of England. This is not so surprising since almost one quarter of the British people live within 25 miles of London’s Trafalgar Square. But it also reveals that England as well Britain is dominated by the south, and particularly the south east.
