New Allowances

Post by rhino49 »

What do you think would make a good new allowance to reflect the difficulty of the job we do - select from the few I have suggested in the attached poll or suggest one of your own.
We wish to serve - but we will not be servile

Went out without a pen allowance.
Went out without my drop keys and had to go back to DO allowance.
Went out without any form lefts and had to chase a driver down the road on my bike to get some allowance.
Too many Specials allowance.
Manager gave me a dirty-look allowance.
Got caught stuffing D2D's down my pants allowance.
Had to relieve myself in a hedge allowance.

Personally I could be on to a nice little earner Rodney! :nana
