On your first paragraph I ask why do you want a major tax hike in fuel prices seen as you do so much motorway driving? I would have thought you'd be the first to campaign for a drop in fuel taxes.

As for your second paragraph try checking how much it costs to own & operate an articulated lorry. Let me tell you also that I collected from one of the aforementioned hauliers who have gone bust the other Friday, it's a mix of the recession & the fact that Britain has some of the highest fuel taxes in the western world.

As for your third paragraph no supermarkets don't have their own arrangements. A third party haulier will come into a regional distribution centre & deliver on behalf of their own customer, lorries are a vital part of the supply chain whether owned by one of the big four supermarkets or not.

Milk in different company stores are usually the same. Infact alot of times the same milk is in two/three different containers and different prices.

you moved to the chiller section?

We network.

Sometimes all you do is go over with a two pinter and nod as you put it back on the right shelf. Typical customers putting the full fat with the fresh n lo.

Not sure about "networking"; I understand your colleagues would prefer it if you just did any work at all.

For somebody who has in his time slagged-off the job that just about every one connected with the club, from builders to maintenance men to markerting department, does its amazing that you can't even pull your weight on a ready cooked chicken counter.

Wow, that's dead interesting.
