Part of me misses the challenges of regular class 1 work, but there's not much call for it in airport land ::)

That said, I have my Snow Plough refresher on Thursday...

Which means doing a reverse figure of 8 in This....

Which is nice :D

Anti-social parking is the bane of my job.  Muppets who think they can park we're and how they like causing an obstruction, or preventing me from accsesing, somewhere,  If only the law allowed you to damage said motor, they'd soon park better.

Backing into a yard blindside on a trading estate where there are cars parked everywhere can be interesting!  ::)

Yup. And tomorrow's delivery is just that, at the bottom of a dead end, only way is blind-side in.

They never manage to design these places so that there's enough room a) for everyone to park out of the road, and b) to enable a full length artic to drive in either way and reverse straight into the loading bay ::)

ps... The law only requires you to take reasonable care, exchange details and report as required  ;)

When Lidl had their supermarket in the centre of Hinckley ( in the Borough) i was full of admiration for the delivery guys who had to reverse down the narrowest alley you have ever seen having first got at right angles on what was a busy road.

The biggest joke on mankind is that computers have started asking humans to prove that they aren't a robot.

Quite a lot of Aldi and lidl are blindsided bays, as the stores are all built to a STD design in the fatherland.

That would explain why Thamesmead are looking for drivers...

All supermarkets want drivers this time of year,, the Germans you have to load trailer, go to stores, put stuff in the chiller, or onto shop floor to be stripped, then reload waste,.. get to next store, move waste start and repeat,,, about £10-50 to £11-75 pH. Tesco £10-49 plus bounus for lates rolling 5days all shifts.

What? Gist at Barnsley (M&S) are advertising up to £25ph.

I think that's through Pertemps.

Currently getting £15 for throwing pallets out of a 26t and I drive further just going to work than I do at work ::)

Although RM trunking is appealing at £22.50, but there's greater odds of me voting Labour than having a job at the end of January if I signed up for that :D

The RM finishes about 2nd week of January, it's a well known good job from October, they are billeting drivers for the 6 week period in travel lodges, and they want as many shifts as you can do(manpower)  Nearly as good as the two week strawberries to Wimbledon,, £1500 pw this year.
