For months the drivers have been leaving them sitting at my office because they're too busy to lift them but this week they're taking them all, even the ones we use for our packets in the morning :hmmmm

It's called York Repatriation.
A guy in a suit arrived at our D.O. and announced that he was the York Repatriation Manager....i nearly wet myself on the spot.
I've never even been to York. :confused
