Gary Yeo
Head of Assets
Naturally getting 140,000 armbands is an enormous challenge.
However, all sites should have had the armbands dispatched to them through our network by close of play today
We have ordered 25% of the smaller size which was the first batch the team could get hold of and 75% of the larger size.
Much as Simple Simon might like the idea someone should have told him that we don't employee any children.
I take it RM got sold a load of "Junior" Armbands in lieu of" Small "Armbands?
They saw you coming a mile away Gary. I suggest you collect up all those uselesss Armbands ...Return To Sender ... and Demand your/our money back.

Re: Black Armbands
Surely it would have been better to ask people if they want an armband to wear, and order adhoq. We got ours this morning, when I left the office after delivery, at least 30%+ were left on the frames. Seems to be a complete waste of money considering Simple 'Team' Simon put out the poverty notice the other day....We can't afford uniforms.....

^^ Surely it would be better to tell those who wish to wear a black effin armband to work to go buy one themselves

Re: Black Armbands
No, but nobody's asked/forced me to wear one on this occasion either and I'm not going to.

Re: Black Armbands
Why are they being asked? No need, they can do what they want as long as they don't try and force me to wear one.Acca Dacca wrote: ↑16 Sep 2022, 18:37The question is being asked of those who are wearing oneyellowbelly wrote: ↑16 Sep 2022, 18:36No, but nobody's asked/forced me to wear one on this occasion either and I'm not going to.

Re: Black Armbands
quite frankly as i don't actually hate the royals but i don't like them and could well do without them, nobody wore a black armband when my mam & dad died, respect is a personal choice and spending a few hundred grand on tat was obviously a publicity stunt to sway public support towards the scumbags, even if i did want to wear one, i'd have bought/made my own on the day, quite frankly if i was joe public i'd find it astonishing that it took a week after hrh died to issue them, even then they are the wrong size, but simple will say he honoured herAcca Dacca wrote: ↑16 Sep 2022, 18:37The question is being asked of those who are wearing oneyellowbelly wrote: ↑16 Sep 2022, 18:36No, but nobody's asked/forced me to wear one on this occasion either and I'm not going to.

If people want to wear them ( whilst never wearing one for members of their own family ) then they should be buying them with their own money
