The job worked well enough for god knows how many years and folks had accidents then. But it was seen as the fact that folks had accidents at work and took it for granted. Now your all professional drivers and accept the fact that one day you may or may not have a accident that may or may not be life threatening, but you still get up in a morning scratch your balls pee on the cat stumble down stairs put on a ■■■ and smoke the kettle get dressed and ■■■■ off to work. So what has happened to the work that you do that requires all this ‘elf and safty ■■■■ to have invaded every corner of the uk in recent years. LAWYERS thats what. Now my proposal is this if a warehouse man is dopey enough to have an accident he must have been to tired or not paying enough attention to warrent doing his job correctly, ie: counter sue the little feckless ■■■■ and put an end to all this namby pamby high viz not doing that cos’ i got a bulb out, ooohh its too cold/hot today to be doing that. If you cant handle a little risk or hard work ■■■■ off and get yourself a nice little office job and complain about. In short be a man. Today i sent a letter to the outgoing Chief of the General Staff Sir Richard Dannatt asking please when Afghanistan has been sorted can you sort out the UK workforce and then Nuke all the large retailers RDC’s as i believe these to have caused more human misery and suffering than the combined might of Britains Got Talent and the X Factor combined.

You do realise that you have just posted an opinion
Thankgod that we can still do that eh!
Nice one, made me laugh.
Well drag me outside for the public flogging. But please be aware that to carry out such a thing these days you must comply with
Public Outrage Order 718/50 PF
that clearly states that 1. ALL participants must have a upto date Tetanus injection and be in possession of a doctors certificate that they are clear of aids.
- That the accused persons religion will allow flogging if not then a sentence of 250hrs community service your driving license being revoked and a £2500 fine to be paid by stopping your benefits by £1 per week. If accused is employed then such as follows a sentence of 250hrs community service your driving license being revoked and a £25000 fine to be within 28 days if you fail such an order then you will be sent immediately to Guantanamo Bay for re-education for thought crimes and the nyour name will be changed by deed poll to Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi and handed over to the Americans while wearing a kilt and saying it’s all a big mistake and you just got on the wrong flight.
Always remember the saying from V for Vendetta. " England Prevails"
Now where can i ge a job driving the Outrage Bus.
I had an outrage bus, it even had a website…I was monitored
I want to leave these shores in the next two years, so websites were taken down and I now keep my nose clean.
England is well beyoned forked and neither myself nor anybody else will fix it, the social conditions that prevail at this moment in time prevent this from being so, academics rule and it shall always be the case…Thats why I am bailing to a place where my contributions will mean more and will not be squandered so much…
England RIP.

Go on, I’ll bite: Where are you off to?
Just for fun(?), my fiver says a place featuring one or more of the following where it’ll:
a) Be barren of culture
b) Be as interesting as Norfolk was during the 1950’s but speak just as funny as today
c) Be full of fat retards
d) Have serious mosquito, typhoon, earthquake and/or drought products for sale at the nearest shop 35 years away
e) Have both a weird ‘national sport’ on the analogue telly & rubbish beer in ‘bars’ not pubs
f) Have sandwiches to run away from
g) Have unwittingly lured you into its Euroweb - where you’ll still contribute to the Romanian gypsy welfare scam
h) Have paths lined with fenced-off signs declaring ‘Stay on the path’
i) Have drivers working their trade in three week old ‘wife-beater’ shirts
Gis a clue …I fancy it too
Either way i’m off with him unless he lives near that Rick Yemm
Lonewolf Yorks:
Incidentally does anybody know of 1 case where a driver pulled off a bay while he was still being tipped■■? I mean actually saw it, not had it from someone else??
Yes!
I’d got to Welham Green trunking station (Tesco) and was allocated a bay. Reversed up to it and got out to open back doors, while securing offside door there was a large bang from the lorry behind me - he had pulled off the bay and the bang was the ramp leaving the trailer floor.
Supervisor from inside warehouse came running over and ranted and raved etc. WHO GAVE HIM KEYS BACK??
Turns out that the goods in clerk thought he was tipped and done so handed keys back…obviously driver hadn’t ckecked for red or green light. 2 ■■■■-ups fortunately no injuries this time!
A couple of weeks ago one of our drivers was at an RDC. He hands his keys in and waits to get tipped.Another driver had handed in a dodgy set of keys so he could sit in his cab. The other driver was tipped first ,got what he thought was his set of keys and left. When our driver went to get his keys the clerk realises she,s handed the wrong keys to the other driver.
It took two and a half hours to get the driver back to the RDC so our driver could get his keys back!
If you are going to carry 2 sets of keys , make sure you get the correct ones back. It may not be just the RDC you are pulling a fast one on!

So what discipline was meted out to this Herbert? I promise you that his activity contravened legislated activity expected of him in the H&SAW etc Act, 1974 whilst sure that he’s a good chap and is kind to children & small furry animals, etc. But ultimately it is his such shabby activity that represents the 0.0001% bad among us and is actively shafting us?
As an innocent bloke (muppet?) playing by the rules, I’m pee’d off at being punished. As I see it, if we innocents don’t see the guilty somehow castigated it is evidenced that in time we come to realise the futility in not able to rise above ‘them’ and are thus tempted to join ‘them’ in newer norms of shady antics.
Conclusion? As more division & antagonism is introduced among us & our masters lord it up in mansions, I ask why the heck cant the too many faceless/gutless/tree-huggy/useless & bloated ‘managers’ (- often working beyond their capacity?) govern fairly?
Att…your talking part rubbish…I’ve been to quiet a few RDC’s in the past where they’ve been happy for you to stay in your cab…Then you turn up another time and the rules have changed…There’s no returning to your cab whatsoever…(sometimes this is a blanket ban for all sites or just an individual one)…Everytime I’ve just asked a general member of staff…(your more likely to get less ■■■■■■■■ or spin than if you ask a manager)…‘Whats with the changes?’…Each time it’s always to do with drivers pulling of bays…warehouse staff getting killed, injured or nearly so…
Yes some may do it for cheaper insurance…you would if your going to get a massive discount…and have to worry about this stupid claims culture. The big bosses probably meet up and hear different horror stories of accidents…which makes them think twice…so nothing may have happened at their site…but they don’t want the headache and hassle…another big boss had.
Also remember the people in the big offices upstairs are business people and accountants…all they understand is making money…and not giving it away unnecessarily…(Which as I’ve seen…can be a good thing for jobs…in such times as we are in now)
If i ran a company…I would be the same…ban drivers from cabs or us a very secure locking system…(if econmically viable) …cos as people on here have already admitted (in other threads)…they hand in bogus keys… it only takes one idiot…Although i would make sure the drivers waiting room was comfortable…or give ya a bleeper.
Happy Keith…unfortunately in any walk of life…it’s always the small mindless minority whom spoil for the rest…That the way life goes!!!

You perhaps mean both the perpetrators breaking legislation at our expense and the flabby management too scared to decently account and adequately address it being broken within their realm - again at our expense.
Either way, it seems that the industry is onto a hiding whether we take it out on the RDC staff whilst stuffing bog-rolls down the pan out of frustration or otherwise.
Either way, good luck to 'em all as I’m trying my hardest to stay happy.
