Arguments anyone?


Absolutely none.

Wholly agree with both yourself and BC (for a change).

Not so sure about the Lynx though.

The dress code really doesnt work,i can understand reasonable requests i.e string vests and speedos but for the rest ? Theres a few companys here that try to enforce codes and theve got the scruffiest drivers about.How can you enforce peoples personell hygene for instance ? You can wear a shirt and tie and still be a scruffy fecker...

Judging by some of my passengers and reversing the roles, I would have thought personal hygiene would be the easiest to enforce....if the enforcer has the balls.

I've certainly mentioned it gently to one or two passengers in the past!
