roytheboy:
The laws says we must park , but law does not provide places to park
So , i suggest , all future industrial development must include adequate truck parking with clean well maintained basic facilities. Something has to be done sooner rather than later or fewer drivers will want to overnight anywhere

Quite right,Roy.

This could also be implemented on our current industrial areas. How many estates have we all visited where there are ‘x’ amount of empty warehouses for sale/rent etc. Some in my area have been empty for years,so I reckon these could be knocked down and proper parking and facilities could be made available at nearly all industrial areas.

Come on Blair and co., pull your fingers out!! :smiley:

Well said that man. So what do you suggest is done, how about signing a petition, Oh, there is one already in existance, been available at all the truckfests this year, Driver got laughed at when a she took it round wolverhampton truckstop, I hope you weren’t one of them.
It is available to sign online if you wish.
I hope Rikki doesn’t mind, it is on [zb], try it, sign it, it wont hurt, and the plan is to present it early in the new year

Link removed as it breaks the agreement on links between sites. Sorry. Coffeeholic.

Please keep this topic ON THREAD[/i] and WITHIN THE RULES[/i].
If any of you wish to indulge in petty and childish slanging matches, do it in private NOT IN MY FORUM[/i].
All you have achieved is to earn what was a perfectly innocent topic a YELLOW CARD[/i].

whoa vince, don’t go upsetting the Perennialy Dull and Anachronistic - i take it that “grim reaper” last week was their resident expert on ALL matters?

as you well know mate there were plenty of drivers who got sent to russia a couple of times under protest (they’re the ones looking scared in the photos, and uncannily like the tall one out of frankie goes to hollywood) but not many who stuck it out for years eh?

sorry, had to add my two penneth after reading some of the [zb] they’ve been posting! :unamused:

Just a little too fruity, that one…L. :wink:

Vince

Your post was deleted as it disclosed business from the Mods and Admin Forum and I’m afraid that is just not on.

Thank you for your understanding

Neil

Just to back Neil up, here.

As a business, we cannot allow material from a Staff Forum to find it’s way onto the public boards. Although fairly innocuous in this instance, this is one rule which we cannot allow to be broken under any circumstances.

Thanks for your understanding.

53

I have resigned as a moderator.

Surely that can be allowed to be in the public domain?

Vince

54

If you are happy for it to be in the public domain and as the tone of this post was less offensive then there is no problem.

After consultation with Rikki your request has been acted upon and your Moderator status and permissions have been removed.

It is sad you feel it had to come to this and I wish you all the best for 2004.

Neil

Well Vince was a good Mod in my opinion!
Coffee has stoped his membership of the PDA if i am not mistaken!

they are problems you would be a fool not to see it!

As a member of both do we get to know what these problems are?

Or do we have to guess and let the gossips tell us what may have happend?

56

Am I missing something here■■?
One minute we are talking about parking and the next we are watching the Mods having a slanging match■■?

57

Nice one Bear, good point. :smiley: :smiley:

Maybe now we could get this thread back on topic, please. :smiley:

58

Was it something i said ? or had a drink been taken? :confused:

59

I just realised that if Vince stood more central in the photo of St Basils cathederal it would look like a silly hat. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

No offence Vince.

None taken Pat!

A short factoid follows which may one day help you (or someone) to win a pub trivia quiz.

When Kazan was conquered in 1553, it was celebrated by the construction of St Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow. Its famous cupola domes represent Kazan turbans, one for each chieftain killed in the siege.

I dont know if this is strictly relevant to NightOwls demise! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
