Q: Can I take one of my breaks at the end of my shift?

A: No. The regulations require that working time must be "interrupted" by your
breaks. In effect, this means that you must resume work after any breaks have
been taken.

Note: if "other work" consists of driving under UK drivers' hours rules, then additional
break requirements may apply.
