Not me, but a Labourer working for me on a buiding site.
Working and lodging in Cambridge.
One evening he decided to pop home, by train, to his house outside Kings Lynn to check all was well.
Caught the last train back to Cambridge and fell asleep.
Woke up when the train arrived in London!
Caught the 1st train back to Cambridge.
Woke up when the train arrived in Norwich!
Caught the next train back to Cambridge and managed to be awake to get off there.
Arrived on site at 11.00 and has had his leg pulled about it ever since.
Same chap a few weeks later was left on site to lock up after some sub-contractors had finished some late working.
We arrived on site to find every thing unlocked and his self sat bolt upright in the site office, fast asleep!
No he didn't get overtime for the all night shift. Just a lot of stick.
