Tut, tut, current CWU guidelines would suggest that a crisp tenner is more in keeping with the current economic climate
Even a tenner wouldn't have swayed me B - looking at the photo the old dear was even uglier - I was so mesmerised by the squalor I forgot to ask if she had a grandaughter, she looked about 90 so a daughter would have been about 70...........better make that great grandaughter.

RM Diversity Policy, I wasn't aware that there was one, maybe I was off that week. In any case telling the truth is not a contravention of diversity policy. Take me for example, when I give out an SD to the wrong delivery I'm called a senile old c**t, now surely that falls under a number of diverse contraventions.
Some of the vans are truly disgusting, one of ours is even full of mold and mildew (the spores of which are known to be potential carcinogens) so I think it's rather unfair of people to be accusing others of being ''OCD'' just because we expect to have relatively clean vans.

If you're that bothered about get some Flash spray cleaner and give a it quick wipe, problem solved - alternatively go to your line manager or DOM show him the problem and tell him you aren't willing to drive a carcinogen laden vehicle on the grounds of health and safety.

Would that be before or after your fag break?

I have already previously cleaned the inside of 2 vans in my own time, using cleaning products I've bought with my own money, I've also had a go at the DOM about it only to get the time honoured '' I'll look into it''
You really do seem to have quite an interesting attitude towards people who regard a clean van as a basic right, I'm guessing you have a similar attitude towards cleanliness in your own home, don't worry about inviting me round for a coffee some time, I'll pass on that one thanks.

Actually you're wrong, if I see something that needs cleaning or tidying I do it - not whinge about it on a forum.

There are two separate issues here...whether a van should be kept neat,tidy and reasonably clean which i don't think anyone is arguing with or whether Royal Mail are responsible for deep cleaning and disinfecting vehicles on a daily basis which seems to be what the OP was suggesting and which in my opinion given the level of hygiene people have to deal with in their normal course of work is obviously ridiculous.

Those who suggest Royal Mail are responsible for deep cleaning and disinfecting vehicles on a daily basis are as bad as those who avoid public telephone kiosks because BT fail in their duty to disinfect the handset after each call. I don't understand how such people cope with day to day shopping, every coin in their pocket or purse potentially recently handled by someone who didn't was their hands after scratching their .....

Most hygiene experts think that our environment is too clean and that leaves us open to infection - the idea being that a little bit of muck does us no harm.
What about catching a virus or whatever delivering to some shithole, just as likely if not more likely than catching it from someone sharing your van. Flats being a fine example, where it's been known for dog or even human s**t to be found in the stairwell..
I don't like the van to be overly dirty (some muck isn't a problem) but it pisses me off when I have a day or week off and come back to find rubbish scattered all around the interior, there really is no need for idleness like that! But when you work with idle twats that can't even be arsed to flush the toilet or wash their hands after having a s**t then I guess it's no surprise.

No you dont whinge about it, you just go on forums and make snide and sarcastic remarks to people making valid points.
I'm no ''clean freak'' and not obsessed with imaginary germs or viruses but you should show a bit of consideration for anyone who suffers with asthma, eczema, rhinitis or any other general dust allergy.... spending their shift in a van full of dust, dirt and mold certainly does become a health issue.

I can tell you one thing for sure, whingeing about it isn't going to improve the situation so why not pay a visit to Boots the Chemist and buy a surgical mask and the same applies to those suffering any itises or allergies.
