Re: Royal Mail Vans
I don't really know what you're getting at? Are you feeling aggrieved because you're getting used vans?

In my office the Vivaro's are just not big enough for some of the walks, some 6-7 Yorks. Maybe you'll get one of those................keep an eye out for any discarded £20 notes we use to clean the windows with

We got a load of combis,some interesting things behind the seats that reveal the culinary differences between area's and just pray the seats don't get wet!! because as they dry out in a van with closed windows all sorts of stains and smells are emitted,we soon learnt to sit on bin liners.
For we were soldiers once,and young

It's most likely new high top bippers, they get delivered to regents road (kentish town), they might get borrowed time to time when vans break down or for managers to go to their meetings with

Not sure what going on here some people have said that vans get replaced every 15 years now but I think not... because it look really scruffy by then...krussel wrote:That's not good, vans should be replaced at 7 years maxjamstercompaq wrote:I hope it ain't some old banger!!!

Re: Royal Mail Vans
We've got some Fiat Doblo's where we work. I reckon they're the best of the lot, nice smooth gearbox/steering, reverse sensors, good vis as it sits higher on road, easy open doors, plenty room in back. Only drawback is the fact it doesn't have sliding doors on both sides like the new Peugeots.
