I’m sat in the waiting room at tesco goole. There are 6 other drivers with me and every 2 minutes the lights will go off because we are not running around like hamsters on a wheel. I’m all for saving money but this is really too much. 20 times an hour it has gone from bright light to pitch black.

may be drivers moaned they couldnt get to sleep on the comfy leather reclining chairs they have for drivers who are waiting to be tipped because once they were comfy they had to get up and turn the light off and then fall over the chair in the dark.
Are you men or mice…get the man in charge tell him to get it put right or you are all out trucks the lot let them , why ho why do you put up with bieng treated like paddy wackers,you are skilled men,wheres that stupid dope Ron Webb can he not do something god makes my blood boil
How many drivers does it take to keep the light on? 
Ask fuse to send his mate, he may be able to keep moving to activate the sensor 
But if it is an amenity building it should probably be kept lit.
HSE for managers says this;
Lighting
Lighting should be sufficient to enable people to work and move about safely. If necessary, local lighting should be provided at individual workstations and at places of particular risk such as crossing points on traffic routes. Lighting and light fittings should not create any hazard.
Automatic emergency lighting, powered by an independent source, should be provided where sudden loss of light would create a risk.
I cant do anything with my wagon that im not told to do. Im an agency driver and if i want to be an agency driver for my contract tomorrow i have to be a good little boy and not make waves. One driver told the office when they rang him he was pulling in for a 20 sleep as he was a little tired 12 hours into his night shift…result banned for 3 months

Thats a disgrace!
What would they have said if he rang and said “excuse me but I fell asleep at the wheel, killed 3 people and your very expensive lorry is no more?”

Which is why the lighting comes back on when required i.e. someone moves!
A little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing…
I agree it makes my blood boil when they come on and off whilst im laid out on the seats having a snooze so i wear a cap and pull it over my eyes and wait for some kind driver to wake me up when they shout my bay number and no one answers them!!

You are of course correct, that is why I had used a couple of smiley faces and a dig at fuse with expecting ron web to sort everything out from global warming to the the tsunami.

Whether you are on break, POA or other work shouldnt matter, if someone wants to eat their snap, read the Sun or play tetris on their phone, the fact is you cannot because the bloody lights go out unless you are moving around the room. It might be ok in a corridor to have movement sensors but this is a drivers waiting room he was talking about.
i thought goole was a stobart run site[or it was the last time i was there a year ago] rather than a tesco site .
it doesnt bother me the lights going out in waiting room,i always sleep in dark at home .
my only gripe about sensor controlled lights are when they go out in toilets, its no fun trying to aim when its pitch dark,ala inside toilets at newton/aycliffe
ifyou think that’s bad the tv at Tesco Milton Keynes isn’t tuned in properly

plus there was no lights at all working in the so called waiting room ,including the one in the toilet on monday morning,apart from that there was a 2 hour wait just to get onto a bay
I came in while England were playing the other week and it was so bad you couldn’t read the score. Once the coffee and water machine were both broken. FFS how are you meant to have a drink.
Still on the brighter side its better than sainsbury’s where you sit on a metal chair with no tv or aldi where you tip yourself and wait two hours for a bay on a friday
