Before & After

Post by Dick Dastardly »

I can't abide having a dirty van so decided to give it a quick clean (it'll be filthy again in a couple of days due to the rural route but never mind).
As it happened, I have 2 postvans today due to the one I used last week not being picked up till tomorrow and the one I am using next week got dropped off today, both needed a damn good clean inside and out, wiped the dashboard and hoovered out the rubbish and stones/dirt.

Much better - although now I've cleaned the vans, they are putting my Alfa to shame :oops:

A place in The Courier awaits! :roll:
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

Are DO only has 5 of us and it's attached to a small local shop, because of that and there being nowhere to safely keep the vans we keep them at home overnight and fill out the Authorised Retention forms.
Everyone should own at least 1 Alfa in their driving career and I love mine :cool
Virtually everyone told me I was mad, strange how their cars are conking out and my Bella hasn't missed a beat.

We cant wash ours because we have no outside tap or hose at our office and the nearest carwash is 3 miles away .

They are 2 of the better ones, most of the others are lucky to have a straight panel on them and the LDV's are held together with baling twine, duct tape and prayer :whistle
