Hahaha, quality!
I treat my van a bit like Ben Flower treated Lance Hohaia, with the utmost respect.

I have written to moya greene and emailed loads of managers and that next week i'm in a meeting and think i'm gonna get told to leave it.

I personally think that these vans come under harassment.

Although I don't currently have one but when I did it sent me round the bend.

And the thret is always there that another one may come along when my van is scrapped.


HELP.

I like it as it reminds me to put the handbrake on each time I stop & I take more notice of that instruction than when local managers keep saying - lapsing , sorting , work harder , stop going to toilet , stop talking , don't eat / drink at the frame , sign in , sign out , watch some trashy RM DVD , give me the van any day :nana

But most London vans are still red :coolr not faded to pink :oops: .
And why should "it looks like the whole yard has been involved in a demolition derby" when you've got a nice 30mph speed limit :Very Happy not narrow winding lanes full of youngsters treating tractors like racing cars ? :sad:

I don't even hear the handbrake warning anymore, it makes no sense now because it's ignored............maybe they should have only had the warning if the handbrake wasn't applied when the door opened instead of all the time.

Thatas what a normal person would think, but as we know RM like to go overboard, and try and blame their staff for any problems.
