And as for William :unamused: :blush: :blush: (one half of the Chuckle brothers) he doesn,t do himself, or the company image any favours does he? :laughing: :laughing:

Why? Is it because he doesn’t look like any other nameless suit with a tidy haircut who you usually find in those sort of positions? I would rather work for someone who doesn’t conform just because it is expected than for someone who does. People have mentioned his haircut, his tie being undone when he climbed out the car and other aspects of his appearance but then he is the boss so can do what the [zb] he likes, that’s the beauty of being the boss.

Go into transport companies in other countries and a suit will be a very rare sight, with ties being even less evident. Jeans with a shirt, polo shirt or T-shirt being the norm and it doesn’t seem to prevent them doing their job.

I totally agree regarding the non suit culture abroad, but, TOSSCO have BANNED jeans + T-shirts @ Fradley as of tomorrow for drivers on agency :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

According the B.S. sheet I have received, they [Fradley] are being earmarked [?] for D.C. of the year, and, the puddle supper who dreampt this up obviously wants this award sooooooooo much :unamused:

Funny that, as we approach the busiest time of the year, and, they are having enough problems filling shifts as it is, some flexy jerkoff comes up with an idea that will decimate the supply pool :blush:

Funny how £50 Levi 501s are not smart enough for Tossco :confused:

Ironic given how many pairs of jeans they sell each year.

I’ve always worn jeans to work, they are the ideal clothing for the job, natural material, sturdy, capable of being washed at high temperatures if soiled with grease… they were invented as workwear and have done the job admirably for over 150 years so what’s wrong with them as workwear now?

and how many pairs of tesco jeans you can buy for your £50.

So what are you meant to wear instead then? Suit?

They should maybe open a depot in Midsomer, sure to get shut of a few there :smiley: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I am envious of Eddie Stobart they have such nice spotters we have spotters too but ours spot us then throw stuff and abuse at us instead of getting the truck number !!!

According to the speil ; Dark Blue Trousers AND Top, or similar work wear, NO JEANS, + CLEAN Hi-Viz.

ANY driver who reports for work inappropiately dressed will be sent home.

I thought this episode was good, again much better than the majority of the cack thats on the idiot lantern these days.

It doesn’t matter what your opinions on Stobarts, you’ve got to say that the sheer scale of the operation is staggering.

Some of the stats that stood out for me this week;

  • $21,000 per month spent on curtain repairs alone
  • 7 new wagons put on the road every day
  • 2,000 people in the Spotters Premier Division :open_mouth: :laughing:

We should be so lucky,we have our very own fan club who like to put firebombs under our wagons :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

PS, I loved the helicopter shot of the stobarts truck gaining 0.0005 mile per hour while over taking the Prestons of Potto truck, if they had held that shot it would have probaly used up the total 45 minutes

I wonder if Nobby’s helicopter took that shot when he was over on one of his much talked about visits. :wink: :sunglasses: :laughing: :grimacing:

You not heard the latest then. Bobby shoots them with his anti ESL’s fitted to his helicopter and makes it look like an accident has taken place.

My answer to that would be “cya”.
