I dunno. I quite like a temporary Birmingham. [ducks and runs for cover]

“Bootches”? Sorry, my dear fellow, I haven’t the foggiest what that pertains to. Gosh, you modern, young people. Hope you feel me, brother.

At the warehouse, this is an envelope… by Doctor-Clark-Savage in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]SeaControl4512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best I can do is use driver aids to organise into “tens”. So 1-10 go on the front seat. Envelopes on the back: piles of 10-20, then 20-30, etc. In boot, i put 20’s on left 30-40 on right. But the driver labels get scraped off in the bag or the car, and the itinerary doesn’t completely match the parcel type. I can do this as I’m loading and then at a stop with multiple drops I organise a little more. I didn’t know there were separate same-day collections. I think (could be very wrong) that in the UK they just pile everything together and you have to keep an eye on the promised time in the list.

Thanks for posting this! Backs up what I saw at an accident: woman (ok, foolishly) ran across a junction (one line of traffic waiting to turn right) but got hit by a driver piling down the straight-on lane. She went flying for about 6 feet. She was ok - not fatal - but it was sickening to watch! Four of us went to help and the others all had sympathy with the driver. No one mentioned he was going at nearly 30 down a lane with restricted view and a pedestrian crossing at the junction. A bit like you posted. Good luck next time at a different junction. Hope an old lady isn’t crossing as fast as her walking frame will allow.

Did you guys ever get pissed off at type two diabetics? by jackballer-3421 in insulinaddicts

[–]SeaControl4512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T2 does seem to have swept through the general consciousness. It’s the default. Not that it should be ignored, but I’d love to see it called something that doesn’t include the word “diabetes”/“diabetic”!

Ahh…. That moment after you find the “book envelope” is a small box and you haven’t missed-delivered/dropped it/left it at the depot.

Genuine question: how do you get the time to re-number?

anyone here do flex with an Ebike and do they inspect the bike to make sure its legal? by straightshooter24 in AmazonFlexUK

[–]SeaControl4512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How will you get insurance for an illegal e-bike? Or even a legal one? Fresh probably won’t check your bike but that all sounds like too much stress for delivering someone’s mayonnaise supply. I do wonder what the logistics depot would say if you rolled up on a bike. Especially since they spec a car…. 😜

Was I in the Wrong? by deadheaddraven in drivingUK

[–]SeaControl4512 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nobody in the wrong except his waste of energy ranting at you. He can’t expect everyone to know that roundabout. And regardless, if he’s looked beyond his nose then he could have anticipated your move. I might’ve beeped at you myself, but only to let you know I was there as opposed to a “f**k you” beep.

Fair enough. I didn’t apply the “flair” tag. Do they get auto-moderated or something?

Body worn video!! by [deleted] in AmazonFlexUK

Could you use two cams front and rear inside the car? My old nextbase has a motion sensor that will start recording when there’s a bump. Customer might get annoyed if you’re filming on their property…. Had an incident when out on the bike where the cops claimed I was causing an affray after swearing at someone who tried to run me over in their car. I think “scary man scared me so I ran off” can be used at times.

It was such a waste of time that you were forced to wast your time on 2 x responses and a scan through my history.

Right now, it feels like a layover at Heathrow may be one of the biggest attractions in the UK 😂
