leave with a neighbour

Post by dvbuk55 »

Last weekend all our old P739s were removed from vehicles, stores etc and replaced with the new style cards for the "Leave with a Neighbour" scheme - however it transpires that the regulator hasn't ratified the system yet - or if he has, it's not been communicated to staff. Does anyone anywhere have any current update on this debacle?

They were expecting the nod to begin Monday but it didn't happen. It seemed a bit odd that there wasn't a definite date just a "late September" - they probably thought it was a foregone conclusion and went ahead, just like they do with everything, sending out leaflets trumpeting the new customer service.
They really are a bunch of clowns, nothing is ever thought through but charge ahead regardless :crazy:

I don't care. I'm not doing it, unless a neighbour pops out and comes to me offering.

Have you ever pondered whether a person who is eager to take someone else's property is the least likely to be trusted? :hmmmm

You could make it up, RM did, and the union are going to monitor it :left: .................except of course the regulator doesn't seem too convinced because he hasn't allowed them to go ahead yet.

You won't be doing it at all if the regulator doesn't give it the nod. :cuppa
