It comes with age, so they tell me.
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Re: Defective vans
We have 3 Vaux Combie vans that have broken door stays and during the 80 mile an hour winds were broken when they flung back.
The broken stays have been damaged for ages and noted in the logs but nothing was done.
Now we have vans that the doors don't shut properly or have to be forced shut and stil nothing gets done.
During WTL the DOM still tried to blame the posties for the damage but everyone knows where the problem lies.
We have vans with the tracking not right and all they do is change the tyre and not sort the main problem out
