lost van keys.

Post by daveyeff »

out on park n loop yesterday, parked up, done my first loop,(small one, 25mins) back to van,,, NO FECKN KEYS, i can remember signing for them, but from then on in, i cant remember what ive done with them. ive either lost them on delivery, or put them down in the office somewhere. ive asked the phg to look in office, but no joy there. so the only option open to me is tell the dom. he is a jobsworth little kant with royal mail blood coursing through his veins. what can i expect in terms of punishment. ANYONE,,,,,, DAVEY ARMOUR, BUMPER, MILKY, any one.

Did you not use them to drive the van, or have both posties got a set so they can get in for their mail?...

cool mate,

whilst its crap you lost them, its good that they are giving both buddies a key so they can get entry to the mail
as and when it is needed.

I wouldn't worry to much about the lost key, they will be able to get a new one cut, whilst its annoying
its easily done when your under P.

Nothing.
You did nothing wrong.
You didn't swing them about or kick them up and down the street.
Do yourself a favour though...fess up asap.
That's the only thing that can get you into trouble...especially if they are sitting on your managers desk and he's waiting to see how honest you are.....
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

its not that simple,you can't just get a new key cut,they have a transponder in them,could cost upwards of £100 to get a new one,don't ask me how i know, :crazy:

Yeah I know it can cost this, its costs even move if both keys are lost.

A reasonable dom though should see the guy has made an honest mistake and get the key duplicated, or if it wasn't in the park/loop era just carry on
with the 1 set, which happened when I misplaced a key.

It's probably these new trousers to blame, pockets so shallow my van keys are forever falling out of them. :sad:
