The Works Bus
Today being one of those public holidays that only some U.K.organisations grant their employees reminded me of the discussion on Morning Extra last Friday.
It seems moves are afoot to convince Gordon Brown that there should be a new type of public holiday in which empoyees are encouraged to spend the day volunteering for a community project or charity.
That, in turn, reminded me of the BBC Radio Scotland series The Works Bus, in which we turned up at offices and factories and took groups of workers on a mystery tour. The secret destination was always a voluntary organisation in need of a helping hand.
