NO MORE PARKING IN THE YARD

Post by lewesspudgun »

Our ever helpful DOM has decided there are to be no more private cars parked in the yard, managers of course will not be included in this draconian act of spitefulness. Only 2\3 of our parking bays are allocated or used by RM vehicles. Please how can we fight back and subdue this bitter twisted underhand moronic act of selfish self importance. Ta.

just park there, and when he says you can't ask to be taken down the conduct code and ask him to follow you as you are only doing what he is doing. :)

Cycle to work instead.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Many thanks doorstepped. Your photo shows that you are not afraid of conflict. a few of us have decided to heed your advice and make a higher power than the DOM.[if he dose not back down] decide who is right. Thanks also for all the other useful hints tips and kind words

Our Delivery Office is in an Industrial Estate out of town and we have 30 parking spaces which was OK for posties cars plus 6 vans and room for people picking up items from the callers office.
This was until P/L and 20 new vans turned up , now people are blocked in left, right and centre and people are called off sorting etc all the time because people are blocked in.

Back in the day most D.O.s were town centre affairs and you could stroll to work or at worst use a bike.
Some genius at RM Towers then decided to stick them in Industrial Estates(mine included) miles from anywhere or any bus routes.
I'm not started my working day with a 10 mile cycle in the pissing rain so unfortunately for the environment i use my car and require somewhere to park it.
Not my decision.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
