Oh, right. Me and my one track mind.

I think you can work 'till your waters break, Grandad.

My waters break about 5 times a day and 3 times at night. Now where did I put them incontinence pants.

I would'nt think there is any guidance at all on the subject though.

Just like there are no taxi driver restrictions on hours, which is just as well in de-restricted, (sorry, de-limited) areas.

I don't think the driving part is a problem, but clearly she ain't going to hump some ten tonne tubby up a ramp in a WAV.

Or some student with a solid case full of books. :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

The lady in question does not drive a WAV and we don't have many students around here. Most of the work is night time pub stuff. I suppose it could be down to the insurance company. Would she be entitled to any benefits such as maternity pay, being self employed may be a stumbling block.
