That would depend on who you are sharing a van with. I'd rather have hypothermia than go near some of them in my officedvbuk55 wrote:Alternatively you could share body heat in extemisenzio wrote:well look on the brightside with the van share dutys there will be two of you to dig out the van instead of just one yippie happy days
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Our DOM wouldn't let us go out on delivery when we had all that snow.kendo1 wrote:If their is severe weather Guaranteed CWU ,RM ,AND HSE will do nothing about it than say go carefull out their.
The Conditions we were sent out in early this year was unsafe to say the least but other than individal stands no one did anything about it .Many DOMS were snowed in at home but issued instructions for the foot soldiers to go out delivering ,as usual
CWU did nothing AT ALL ,DISGUSTING!!

Do the P&L vans have shovels in the back ?? Or is there no room due to trolleys/packets etc ...
