No groupsave either to Cardiff that day to try burn off demand.

It was morning and evening peaks last time due to issues getting vehicles and drivers but supply appears to be better this time around.

Indeed. And demanding names or sticking cameras in people's faces prejudices any proper investigation.

Why did you need "a name" ? Just report it, it won't take too long for the management to work out who was on the roster at whatever particular time. Aside and alas there are elements in TOC retail management who push an agenda that the only criteria the staff should be judged on is when they're...
