Re: What happened to all the vans?
We've had a stand-in DOM this week who has been using a lovely, shiney brand new van just apparently for his own travel usage, much to our annoyance with our clapped out and falling to bits 4-5 year old vans.
Anyway I reversed into it today and rearranged the front wing, it looks much more at home amongst our old bangers now.

Some offices I have driven to have yards so small that you would be lucky to fit 6 in never mind 20 + one size fits all approach is not going to work simples

Re: What happened to all the vans?
We've about 30+ new Bippers at my office aswell as our old ones, can't move in the car park anymore. The other day I had to move 10vans just to get my van out
and loading up is a f***ing nightmare.
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
Illegitimi non carborundum

Re: What happened to all the vans?
THATS WHY YOU HAVE NO NEW VANS, YOU DONT LOOK AFTER THEM. AM SURE IF YOU HAD TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGE AND ABUSE YOU GIVE THE VANS YOU WOULD THINK TWICE ABOUT HOW YOU USE THEM...................
