Oh, and Sainsburys have done drug and alcohol tests for donkeys. Done them too.About bloody time too! I’ve lost count of the number of seaside family holidays I’ve had ruined by gangs of ■■■■■■ up donkeys smoking foot long spliffs abusing passers by outside Wetherspoons.
This is the funniest thing I’ve heard this year! Great work!

Never sure why people are seemingly so proud to declare they’ve got nothing to hide. I always think it’s basically admitting they have a pointlessly bland existence and because of that they’re going to make ■■■■ sure everyone else does too.

Letting the kids use the computer is a good way of keeping me on the ‘straight and narrow’ (not a euphemism)

Although I’ve got no particular view either way on the issue under discussion, I do very strongly agree with Rob on this. This relentless surveillance and control is exactly what we used to flag up as totally unacceptable when it was carried out by the pre-1991 Communist regimes on their citizens. Now, it’s gone completely the other way and the Sheeple seem to be begging for more of it every step of the way.
if my company wanted to test me fine i know id be ok,but a few years ago when working in my first driving job things would of been very different indeed.
a lot of folk going on about cannabis well in my experience a bloke who has been on the spliff is safer the next day then a bloke who has drank 7 or 8 pints.
Ok then, think of it this way! 
you park up in a depot down south, sign the fire register and drop your trailer and paperwork in the office ( AVELEY ) the ask the manager where the pub is? eight hours later you return to the said desk jockey and tell him ( I’m going for a shower to sober up ) you’ve had 9 off on your Digi and it’s time to roll! Now then why did said manager let you drive off? Drunk or smelling of alcohol! 
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, but you’ve got to catch me first! Tooooooooooooooo many dogooders and yes men you’re eradicating your liberty!

Thats me up the creek without a spoon!
Probably better money on the old rock and roll anyway so what the hell.
Strange that its ok for some “EXPERT” in a suit to have a liquid lunch but not for
“minnions” like me and thee to have a few drinks on a Tuesday on our own time after
work and then get a tug in the morning.
Last time you saw some VIP pulled for a drug or alcohol test was when?
We also have to do this in Canada if we’re going to be doing US work. The random checks are laid back though, definetely no diverting to do a test when you’re on a journey. What happens with Canadian firms is that the US authorities tell the Canadian company to test X amount of drivers and you then have ages to do it in. I just did one last week and that was 6 weeks after first being told that I had to do it!
no wanting to start an argument wi you robin hood…but when we got the call on the road we were told where to go for the test and had iirc allowed a 3hr window to attend…the law was once ,called it must be an immmediate test . (they knew where we were tracked).once in L.A .no show and you were in the #### ,know of friends pulled on days off .
told to attend… 08–10 though. This might have been a company rule and not US DOT>
once i came off the US side o things and out of the pool and ran Canada only i never had a call.
Well now certain multi national firms in Canada are demanding D&D tests on drivers picking up goods.

Never had anything like that before Jimmy, just the usual test when they take you on and the very occasional random test. I know this time I was selected by name apparently but they gave a huge window of time in which to get the test done. I suppose the situation which you described is why we carry a Federal drug test form in the truck, incase they request a test done on the spot in the US?
thants the one, FDT form…
jimmy
Have random tests at my work.
Can’t see the problem.
