That's fair enough but it works both ways

That's a great attitude I've had that happen to me and it's screws up your days work so ends up costing more than the lost job. At least have the decency to call the guy and let him know as he could of had a few emergency jobs. Guess I'm going to get slated now so tin hat on and fire away

Is it for the li ion battery's as might have a spare one

Q. Why should vans have lower speed limits than cars when they now have modern advanced braking systems like cars? A. The main reason for these lower speed limits is that goods vehicles are designed to be able to carry heavier loads and when laden they will tend to take longer to slow down than a car travelling at the same speed. Q. Why are the speed limits different when very often cars & vans are in the same tax class for DVLA registration purposes? A. Some people make the mistake of thinking that if a van is in the same tax or registration class as a car then it is subject to the same speed limits. However the two issues are unrelated and they are governed by different legislation. National speed limits are set out in the 1984 legislation are based on the possible load capacities of the vehicle and whether or not it is used for carrying passengers. Q. Are there any exemptions from these lower speed limits for vans? A. There is one (small) group of vans which have the same speed limits are cars by virtue of the definitions in Schedule 6 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act of 1984. These are vans that are both derived from a car chassis and also have a maximum laden weight of no more than 2 tonnes. This means that the weight of the vehicle and the payload it is designed to be able to carry when added together do not exceed 2 tonnes. The van design must be a derivative of a car body, it is not sufficient that it looks similar to a particular car. Q. Which vans meet the criteria to be considered car derived vans for speed limit purposes? A. Very few vans will meet the criteria to benefit from the same speed limits as a car. Those that do are likely to be similar to a Ford Fiesta van ,Vauxhall Corsa or Renault Clio van in having maximum payloads of around 500kgs so that when combined with the weight of the vehicle unladen (normally around 1.4 tonnes) the maximum laden weight of the whole vehicle will not exceed 2 tonnes. What this means is that vans such as the Ford Transit and (and of course the larger panel vans) will not meet the definition of car derived vans set out set out in part IV section 2 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. Therefore these vehicles will be subject to speed limits of 50mph on single carriageways and 60 mph on dual carriageways. Q. When did these rules come in and shouldn't they be changed now? A. These speed limit rules have been in place for well over 20 years and there are no plans to change these limits to allow vans to be driven at higher speeds because ministers remain to be convinced that it would be safe to do so. Q. Do these speed limits apply if the van is travelling without a load? A. The national speed limits apply to the vehicle type and it makes no difference whether the vehicle at a particular time is fully loaded, partially loaded or travelling without a load.

Immigrant labour especially the Poles work like Trojans, listen and learn and you wont find them hiding in the mess, scratching their ***** and whinging all day. Guess you must have a different breed of poles down by you the last bunch I worked with couldn't put two words of English together and tried to give me a polish to English translation book. Which got lashed out the window if they could shirk doing a job they would I'm not saying all uk workers are the same but at least you can tell them what you need or expect

I'm a time served joiner and been self employed most of the time but left the trade a few years back as said you can't compete against people willing to work for buttons. Been doing tree work since and would be hard pushed to go back on to site work as there where so many poles ect you spent half your time trying to sort out there unskilled botched jobs. The best one I saw was one trying to straiten a partition wall using inch and half plastic waste pipe as a straight edge
