Was that a thread on here? If so I don't remember it, would make entertaining reading!


There was and you're right it was entertaining

No your (sic) not. Fact.

Has any driver (regardless of whether he was employed by Tesco) ever been sued or even prosecuted for allowing someone to "enter his workplace" while incorrectly attired, or not having received the appropriate training?


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
how on earth would i know?
im merely stating the rules and regs stated on induction into working for tosco where the rules are as previously stated hence if your working for a beancounter mob,then seeing as your paid from the neck down you do as your told and blindly follow orders.
if you allow a pleb into your working area where you are in charge,then there may be blame directed at you if it injures itself.
ive personally told a cabbage that he wasnt allowed to enter the trailer without the ppe which meant an hours pay for nothing while the t/o and the duty manager passed the buck until finally someone appeared with gloves and steelies to help lug a cage of drink that i wasnt lugging myself.

The story continues....
A mate, from work and also outside of work, got a call from the whinger, just for a chat, like (apparently).
My mate was gently asking all the right questions and he found out that yes, he DID lie about the incident and readily admitted it.
The reason being...wait for it.....



I dropped a washing machine on him the day before and I'm dangerous, a liability, and need to be got rid of :shock:
Err, I think I'd remember dropping a washing machine on someone ffs.

Anyway, this info is being passed on to Agency boss tomorrow, not by me, by someone else.

My 2 weeks probation going out with a senior JL Partner died a death after 2 days and a good report from them. Back to normal now.
And, I'm still on the list of drivers to be guaranteed 4 days a week, so that's a bonus (In fact, got offered a days OT for today, turned it down, but at least it WAS offered).

Let's see what tomorrow brings.
Whatever I type, it is always with a smile on my face and my tongue firmly in my cheek. Unless I´m serious :)
