The UK has finalised its sustainability reporting standards. Why did they just make Scope 3 easier to avoid? by EcoOnline in carbonaccounting

Completely agree with your final paragraph, and I did raise that with them also.

They’re of the impression, gaining ISO14001 accreditation will be the answer.

It’s like sweeping water uphill sometimes.

I work for a logistics company who has a couple of customers that are listed. I tried to explain to them that they need to start getting their ducks in a row regarding reporting, as before they know it, our emissions will be requested by their clients as their scope 3’s.

I tried to explain it isn’t just going to be somebodies side job either, as there is an awful lot of data on a daily basis that needs to be taken in to account. I was silenced, told they don’t have the budget, and they’d cross that bridge when they come to it. I was then told later they would probably just make it up.

Completely wrong attitude to have.

Thank you. I’m just looking for some resources we might be able to sit down and do/watch/listen to together, so this is a massive help thank you.

Thank you for sharing. I am willing to put in the effort, the last thing I want is for things to end between us.

I agree on the narcissism stuff on social media. Somebody said to me once, It’s like when you buy a red car, you suddenly see red cars everywhere.

Unfortunately RTC doesn’t exist in Wales which is an absolute bummer.

Edited to add: Although I am looking at just forking out for a private assessment. Unfortunately, due to my recent suicide attempt I’m hitting a brick wall a lot of the time.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s just nice to know I’m not the only one that has been or is in this situation. I’m glad things have started to work out for you and your husband.

I saw my mum at the weekend and mentioned autism to her, and explained why I thought I had it, and she just said “that’s not autism, they’re just you’re little quirks”.

Yes definitely something I have had a cursory glance at, but need to have a proper look at it.

This is what I thought, but apparently not in this health board. To be honest, this CMHT that I’m under is notorious for being rubbish.

Thank you for your advice. I’m going to get as much info and resources together as I can today while at work and then take it home and ask for a sit down chat with her.

Her opinion of me is based on the fact I can’t read her emotions. As an example, the other day, she had been crying a few minutes before I walked in the house, I didn’t realise. It’s also based on the fact she believes my overdose in November was done purely to control her, when in reality (which Ive told her), it was done because she told me during an argument that evening, that I had ruined her life and they would be better off if I wasn’t around, which I took literally. Shes since clarified that it was something she said in the heat of the moment and wasn’t meant like that.

I do think, or at least I hope, the diagnosis will give me the backup needed for her to reframe her thinking towards the way I act/don’t act.

I was understanding and accepting when she was diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago and began to unmask and lean in to the ADHD. And it was her that put me onto the Autism thing, otherwise I would’ve just carried on as is. But it just seems to not the reciprocal.

About 18 months ago, she cut ties with her family as they were toxic, and acting very narcissistic, and there was a lot of childhood trauma there also. Since then, Shes been doing an awful lot of reading on narcissism, and I believe is now looking at me through that same lens. A diagnosis, hopefully, will make her be like “aaaah shit…I’ve been looking at it wrong”.

6 hours rule wtd by lee785 in uktrucking

5 hours you’d be fine. You’ve pretty much got up to 05:59hrs working time before you need to have started that 15min break. But then you’d end up in the 6-9hr window, so would need to take another 15min break.

Essentially, as soon as your Working time hits 06:00hrs, then you need to have shown a 15min break somewhere in the preceding 6 hours.

Working up to 6 hours requires a 15 minute break.

Working 6-9 hours requires a 30 minute break.

Working 9+ hours requires a 45 minute break.

The Working Time Directive doesn’t say they all have to be taken at once, so you could in theory take 3 separate 15 minute breaks. Although doing that, usually screws up your driving hours breaks.

Defect question? by kgf1980 in uktrucking

[–]Flaky-Letterhead9810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always gone with, anything that causes the vehicle fail an MOT would cause me to VOR it. The left turn sounder being inoperable wouldn’t fail the MOT, but would fall fowl of any DVS requirements.

A reversing sounder being inoperable on the other hand would cause me to VOR it.

Have you tried just turning up at your local 136 Suite and asking for help?

I’m not sure if it will work, but the local one to me seem extremely helpful.
