Wow a full fleet of combi's, we've still got 2 that are 12 years old and refuse to die, should feel quite fortunate that most of ours are battered Peugeot partners.

I took a Bipper off the road because the back doors wouldn’t open. When I got back to the office someone had taken the van out.

The pugs seats (well, drivers anyway) are all knackered though. They only last about 30k miles.

The solution is always simple.

Simply tell the manager if he can fit it all into the back, you’ll take it all.

I find you have to sometimes take matters into your own hands to get things fixed, a good sized screwdriver under the working door handle the day before your day off should sort your problem out, thank me later :whistle

Do some staff in DOs not realise that if they get pulled over and the van is not safe/fit for use the police will deem them to be at fault/responsible and they'll be the one that gets fined/goes to court/gets penalty points?
