5pm in belfast? 8 hours shifts are done?
In the British Isles, they don't necessarily work the same hours as we do, and they are likely not paid for their lunch hour. The odds are good that they will have left work, however, by 1:00 p.m. EST. They'll soon be gone from work. Whether or not that means they will be gone from here remains to be seen. Some of them (or one of them at least) can be reasonable. The loss of the rest of them would be no big deal.
