Oxford postman tries out new electic van

[opgpat]

This job is bad enough without looking like a twat in a souped up Sinclair C5.

Just saw this in the RM press release:
'Inline with Royal Mail's current slim-lining of the delivery sector, the nationally implemented model will have pedlo-style pedals so no flat batteries to worry about there boys.'

[BELIAL]

I already look like a twat and then they make me wear chavvy combats with pockets so small you can't hide a bundle

Its being tested out here:

Where's the f*cking door ???? Don't they know it rains in Wales ......

If there's no doors then the rain will just go in one side and straight out the other (on another plus........... point at least if they aren't there, they can't fall off).

when it takes 8 hours to charge, it be worth calculating leccy costs out of curiosity. when petrol/diesel around £5 for 40-45 miles, probably it'll cost that much or more to charge it up.. less fumes, more cost.. and going back to the plot, using a lot of gas to create the energy that drives the turbines that create the leccy that travels down the wires and into the homes, so we can charge up our leccy buggies. lucky i didnt have one when i was travelling 25 miles to work, don't think id make it back lollllll
