Sounds as if many of the City Link drivers owned their own vans. Now they are stuck with green and yellow colour schemes and will need to make them white again - and get a job. Good timing. What a nice Xmas present. Murray Slightly off topic, but I feel sorry for them too. From what I understand, such a franchise does not come cheap ether. The local City Link driver is well known to us and all the businesses around us. Great bloke. I guess the problems are more at regional depots. I guess the competition from certain well known couriers - Yodel in particular - may have been rough...especially as Yodels business model gives 'piece work' to independent self employed? housewives / teenagers, retired persons whose income falls under the minimum taxable allowance, allowing them to work on less than minimum wage?...morally right or wrong is difficult to answer, but as the market gets more competitive with collection/drop-off options at newsagents, this kind of news may increase, in the courier evolution process.

Also 7mm brake allen key, I didn't believe it but in my "modest" ( _ SWMBO views it differently Yes, the same as Ford Mondeos and Jaguar X Types amongst others. Bosch braking system... Their fault! Sadly no engineering stuff! |
