It seems that certain people are taking an interest in these threads because on a recent visit to Doncaster I noticed the following changes.

  1. The cleaning paraphernalia had been cleared of the Drivers rest room and an assembly of a table and six chairs had been placed in there. It was one of those combination types typical of fast food outlets. All welded together and only accessible from one end. How the hell they got it through the door I’d dread to guess. They must have had to take it apart. Such a pity that whilst someone had a screwdriver in their hand, the lock on the toilet door didn’t get replaced.

  2. No longer any necessity to enter the warehouse to hang keys on doors. Keys now go to Goods In office.

  3. A notice apologising for the limited facilities and explaining that improved facilities are in planning.

  4. The turnaround time was much better. A little over an hour.

Those were the improvements, not much, but at least they’re trying.

Security bods friendly. Warehouse staff friendly.

Goods In clerk. Bore all the hallmarks of previous Gestapo training and displayed the personality of a rabid vulture. Short of invasive surgery performing a personality transplant, (and removing a few stone of blubber) the best improvement in this area would be to relocate elsewhere.

The clerks at Doncaster +10 goods in were witless window lickers five years ago when I used to go there. Good to see that nothing’s changed.

The meeting I had with Tesco on the 30th sept is up top as a sticky now, looks like Mr Laffey could be a man to keep his word. :smiley: :smiley:
Yes these threads brought about the meeting, and shows that if enough drivers get involved people are going to listen. :exclamation:
Well worth remembering for the future.:bulb:
