When we get back, we do all our tasks, charge the pda and go home..... then we get 10+ agency workers , they take any pda, any van, anyones bags and throw the whole sterile and secure operation in the air! Next morning you are looking for spare bags, where is the van parked, cleaning every area etc. :arrrghhh
Why are lino's paid full-time ??

Once found a PDA in that gap where the window wipers sit, gave it in & was told it had not been used for over 6 months, in that time the van had been MOT'ed & been to the workshop quite a few times :shock:

And then the female customers ask, "Is that a PDA in your trouser pocket or are you just happy to see me?" :left:
Then I say, "Just wait till you see the size of the package I have for you". :cool

Do a Google search for the PDA, find out what they really cost and then ask them if Royal mail insures their assets, then they will rescind their idle threats

Just googled one seller which lists the RRP as being £1860.87 (excluding VAT). RM will have paid less then that as they will have got a discount for a bulk purchase. From a bit more googling there's around 60,000 walks in the UK, so that's potentially 60,000 PDAs. You've then got on top of that PDAs used in MCs for Tracked and traffic recording (collections as well?)
