ROASTED BEAVER

No, not some weird Canadian recipe. The Beaver has been relieved of his green status lol.

It would appear that I have upset a few office bods!!

wow. not sure as per your post whether i should congratulate you or send my condolences :blush:

Have u left company?

Welcome back to the trucking fold! :slight_smile:

Roasted Beaver?? :smiley: a bit painful.
Can’t wait for Dipperdave’s slant on this :laughing:

Dozy is still there with his illustrious service record.

What on earth did you do?? Urinate in the chocolate fountain? Punch one of the oompahloompahs?

I guessed by the topic title you were going to say your night heater is stuck on full blast.

Have you done the Stobart questionnaire in the other thread about them on here, if you get a low score it’s unfortunate that you didn’t take the test before joining them.

Is there a decommissioning process? Do you have to ring a bell? Is the uniform stripped from your body by the depot manager? Do you have to hand all your memorabilia back in?

So many questions, so little time.

don’t worry I think agencies are bus this time of year.

Royal Mail paying top money for temp over the festive

You do realise we`ll be pecking more than a shed full of emus for the grislies? :smiley:

Years ago when my mate left after about 3 months he put his uniform on eBay.

take note

Haha…some good replies! I was asked yesterday if I fancied doing a day’s shunting at a customers yard. There were 4 of us hauling ingot’s out of Novelis in Warrington. I had just been loaded with a 25 tonne aluminium ingot, and was all strapped up on the weighbridge ready to go. It was a planner from a different Stobart depot who asked me if I wanted to do it.

I replied " No thanks", and suggested that he asked the other 3 lads if they fancied it. At this point, said bellend told me that it ’ wasn’t a negotiation '.

I then asked him if it was ME in particular that the client wanted, which bellend replied " no " to. The situation then basically escalated into him TELLING me that I had to do it, and he wasn’t prepared to ask the other lads.

Obviously I told him the answer was still NO. Bellend then went squealing to operations. They got told NO also.

This resulted in being hauled back to Appleton for an ’ investigation '. I explained that I didn’t think it was reasonable to target me specifically to carry out the task, when the other drivers were in a better position to, and are equally capable.

So I got sent home yesterday, and got a letter in the post today telling me that because I was already on ’ extended probation ', due to a previous refusal to do a Tossco store delivery, and I have now refused the shunting request, I am sacked.

Good news is that I am not arsed in the slightest!! Fed up to death with the childish knobs.

Dozy is a yes man though.

All hail the Beaver :sunglasses: :sunglasses: :sunglasses:

Time to get to work for a tea firm Beav. Are you unpacking your dirty hi vis, and limp from storage?

Yep. They are in my Lidl carrier bag ready to go.

Just got the missus to cut my hair into a weird ’ wedge ’ style, and my 10 year old has booted me in the shin, for an authentic limp.

Looks like you’ll be needing these EB -

And not forgetting the large pebble for your right shoe to give a permanent limp.
You’ll also need to remember to moan when given the keys to a '53 plate Scania instead of a '64 plate FH500.

Oh, and remember to always sit watching your phone from 12pm onwards incase it rings.
