Jack that is a very interesting and pertinent point you make. When I was a labourer in discussion with my Tradesman and the Project Manager of a job the conversation fell to achievable targets, both turned round and stated that in truth it is only the first two hours of the days work when you can expect optimal target (for want of a better word), the fall off then is rapid. I was working for a stonemason/builder at the time and was genuinely shocked by that. I had been bursting my erse for long enough and thinking I was making a difference/on top of my game. I suppose what I am saying is that although our behaviour as a spieces is well known and acknowledged, yet perversly we have to play the 37.5, 40. 48 hours per week shecht.
