Lady Ferguson Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I agree with you Sean VOSA will pull anything, even better up here as their station is on the otherside of the road from where I work : Do you have to fill in a daily vehicle check list where you work Mandy? Yes we do fill in a checklist - and sign it - ie admitting that we know the vehicle isn't MOT compliant. But if we don't work, we don't get paid - so it's difficult to stand up and refuse to drive them \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 maybe you should??, sod them!, they cant sack you for it, if they do, unfair dismissal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Ferguson Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 VOSA are not interested in vehicles under 3.5t - and there doesn't seem to be anyone I can report the matter to. I am just so angry about all this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 vosa aint intrested i find hard to belive, i would have thought those vans of yours are the same near as to what we drive, so top weight is 3.5tons the chassis plate should tell you that , stir up a hornets nest that way, and the old bill, prob with them is they will say its your responsibillity to say no to driving it if its unsafe/road worthy, not the company, other option, e-mail or phone call to the main asda office up north or where ever with your complaints, being forced to use un road worthy vans ect, and raise the concers that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Thanks for your support guys. Trouble is when you know that your colleague is going out an hour and half late because you're not back it's very difficult. I ended up going out with one of the girls on Friday night because if I hadn't she wouldn't have got back until late at night. I will tackle this though because I'm horrified at the working practices and way this company treats it's staff. So any info on official bodies I can contact would be most welcome. Now Mandy darling how come you cant just flutter those beautiful eyes and flirt your way out of it, seemed to work with ole Simon or Lord Fartunson every time :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 is it getting that close to ruin that you need to try and cut it then john??? know loads down here is starting to go brown from rot now where its been wet, lucky few got done in the weeks dry spell, but not that many, must be 50% of fields untouched around the plymouth area Oh dear nice smell anyway John - bet the neighbours were talking :D - in fact I bet you just pulled out to be first in your parish :D ;) I wouldn't have thought its that close to ruin Sean - I remember we cut Spring Barley one year in the last week of September after an August like this and still got a decent yield considering (2.25 tonnes per acre I think). Most crops are still standing which is quite a help although oats could be a problem if this rain keeps up with it shedding. At least its not too mild so crops will not be sprouting yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
