look at this.
got it from a group i'm a member of
Yes ok it's hardly news, we all knew it, but it's official:
Nearly five million UK staff worked an average extra day a week in unpaid overtime in 2005, according to the TUC.
The union group estimated that if each employee worked all their unpaid overtime at the start of the year, they would not get paid until 24 February.
But its analysis of official labour statistics also found that the percentage of people working unpaid overtime was at its lowest since 1992.
Staff in small workplaces were least likely to work extra time without pay.
The TUC's analysis of the government's latest Labour Force Survey found that 4,759,000 workers, or 19.4% of employees, worked an average of 7 hours 24 minutes
in unpaid overtime each week.
Londoners put in the longest hours, with those doing unpaid overtime putting in an extra 8 hours 12 minutes a week.

Incidentally, it doesn't say it in this report (probably because of the politically correct BBC being scared of offending minorities and so censoring the
news) but in this morning's Metro it said the least amount of overtime was worked by Scots. Well knock me dahn wiv a fevver.
