My van had trouble starting when i was out on delivery , I do a firms delivery so stopping and starting all the time , tols line manager when i got back on saturday,
Plenty of time for them to sort it out

Today let the van idle for a while to get some juice into it ,

hour in to my duty the van broke down . walked to this garage to ask if they would jump start the van for me , so i could go back to the office, which the garage did, and guess what the managers had left, (10.30) no one to tell about the van , lucky there was a spare , so had to unload and reload to another van , I dont expect anything to be done , as when i got back the managers had not returned to the office :arrrghhh , Probably be an argument over claiming O/T

looked at the signing off sheet to see some pillocks had got back at 12 30 , 1300 , 1330 signed off and gone home , can these idiots not see what is happening,
But if they actually finished at that time, (having done their job to the proper specification) what else do you want them to do?
If there isn't the work, no amount of hiding, lying or falsifying time sheets is going to save anyone's jobs.

Well Van broke down again, had to use own phone to contact office, then told by Management to ring breakdown folks ,
The breakdown folks came to fix the van before going out on duty , :oops:

Told the breakdown where i was , then management sent someone out to swap vans , to wait for the breakdown he managed to get it going , we swapped vans , i said to make sure the breakdown folks go to the office and not where I had broken down ,
Hour later pulled into the delivery yard , breakdown guy rang me and asked where I was , , My office had not relayed the message , so had to say to the guy where our office was and come there , FFS management cannot even get that right :silenced

In our office.. hire vans in use (again) due to vans being under repair or undergoing MOT's and the ones on the road have problems from lights, steering issues, engine problems and the usual bodywork damage from traffic "incidents" (or should that be accidents?)

Covered a full timers (I'm 35 hrs) round today in an area 16 miles away with 6 d2d's did not get out on the bike until 11.00 and finished 1.5 hours over my time and I got attacked by a German Shepherd Dog and I have never been so frightened in my life, I can't stop thinking about it, so a great day.

Busy day for mail although the packets were ok. Parcels in the afternoon. Chilly outside but at least it was dry.

A gimp mask with bling! lmao

Why do these people not have a sense of humour when we make a comment. If he didn't find it funny, it makes you wonder what level his sense of humour meter is set at.
