I wasn't arguing that they weren't exempt - but rather that one might have to claim that exemption

Many thanks for the clarification. I'll refresh my memory on Tuesday or Wednesday anyway. I really should be able to remember these things in detail. Age creeping on I fear!

My granddad who was a miner before the war, and served in a Pioneer battalion, was released early from the army to return for essential pit work in December 1918, he got a weeks leave and had to report back to his own pit on new years eve, talk about out of the frying pan into the fire.

Cheers Roger.
