Those members who are or were LUL employees what do you consider your most pointless duty/shift.

Mine was the late duty Booking Office turn on Christmas Eve at the end of the Met. Specifically Watford Met. My first year I sat in the office until the correct closing time and took just over £10 on the window. To rub salt in the wound I had requested a special Christmas Taxi to take me home. The following year I also got the same duty. When I requested a Special Taxi I was asked how much I had taken the previous year. When I mentioned how much my GSM nearly choked. He allowed me to close early and catch the last train from Watford Junction. As a matter of interest on that night I took about £12 on the window

I worked in the ticket office Christmas Day at Whitechapel when the District line only ran between Putney Bridge and Whitechapel. Arrived at 1900hrs for a five hour shift (no meal relief required) to find the office closed as the previous booking clerk had gone home early.

In those days every late shift on Sunday at Mansion House was dead as everything in the city was closed and the only passengers you saw were Americans who could not find St Paul's station and did not know where they were. Only one booking clerk at the station ever took his meal relief because he knew of a pub that was open.
