Thing is though, the vans get washed and come end of play the next day, they're caked in shite again, especially at this time of year. With mud guards fitted it would reduce the need to wash the vans as much and the public might actually see cleaner vans more often. The reduced costs on van washing would surely out weigh the cost of the mud guards over the life of the van in service.

vans get washed? :shock:
Not us, no time for that i'm afraid,vans in office look terrible, business plan savings/lapsing sorted that out!!
Used to have our own garage with washer/fuel----but thats when it was a decent company with a good service. :neutral:
And why have '58 plate vans got tape players ffs?? Why would Vauxhall in 2008 produce dashboards with 80's and before technology?? :roll:

thats actually incorrect, the USO is only 1 delivery per day to every delivery point, there is no part of the uso which states a latest time unfortunately
i must disagree on that by way of a freedom of information request on royal mail
Can you put a link up for this Please.
