From past experience its usually late may early June when they come out.

Don't forget the Tax Man, Companies House (I think), the auditors, shareholder, bank, accountants and board all have to have sight of and agree them before they can publish them. It takes a long time for these job schemes for bean counters, sorry, official bodies to agree anything never mind something involving £M in turn over and £B in loans.

I think the DOM was on about the type you have in vans TBT, where they are overlaid on a map and the dom can login to see where you are in real time.

20,000 in an aircraft hanger,thousands in a field somewhere down south. :roll:

You do know they are made out of rubber or plywood painted with paper mache to look like vans.
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

Maybe, in order to protect the efficiency of the engine, they are obliged to move them periodically.
This would explain why they seem to be in different locations every week.
Why though, are they invisible?
