Made me laugh especially the bit about the alcohol locks on the trucks so the drivers couldn't drink too much and drive.....

You got to be kidding me, alcohol at work has been prohibited here in Holland for at least some 40+ years.
About time other countries started to follow the example.
I mean, I like beer but you can't drink during work. Period.

Imagine a doctor in a hospital during open heart surgery:

"Nurse, a scalpel and another beer please."

Sorry bro to disagree but when i was working there back in the 90's if you were working on a saturday it was cool to have a beer at the lunchbreak..if fact i remember in the canteen it was provided for us free of charge.. ...and i worked with guys who had been working in Germany where they told me you could drink even on the normal days...

I know, I was told the same thing by Germans that they even had schnaps (liquor) during lunchbreaks on big building sites, but that was 10 years ago so I assume even the Germans are a bit wiser these days.
