The conditions are pretty rubbish here; this morning until My Donald's open there are no toilet facilities within 5 minutes of our stand, the A/C in most buses doesn't work and they want everyone to smile more?

With that kind of carry on,how are you meant to smile Stu,probably get grief off customers. Pay is absolutely s Hit , it costs inbexcess of £2k to get a pcv licence, what incentive is there for peeps to come into the industry, on top of that some companies will make staff pay the excess on any damage costs

The bit about French vans bring naff, I cant agree with, having had two Citroen vans, I would not go past them. However the parts thing I do agree with, when a ball joint went on my Berlingo, I bought a new one only to find it was the wrong part. I was told afterwardd that when one product ran out , the manufacturers would just go for whoever offered the cheapest price, so variation in parts was rife.

Anything built before 2010 is fine Rich, it's the new vans that need destroying with much vengeance and furious anger

My Berlingo was 2001, Dispatch is 2004, the Relay/Boxer/Ducato range were troublesome. I will replace my current Dispatch with a newer one when the time is right, dont like Transit, too big, dont like Mercs either, VWs outrageous prices.
The Traffic/Primastar/Vivaro I wouldnt buy either.
