For those having breakfast or a nervous disposition please don’t read the following

March 2020, Cheltenham week, I was in Sheffield on a delivery, it was very cold so I had several layers on, farted and followed through.

I stopped the van, climbed in the back to “clean” myself up and the door closed on me, as I was taking my jeans off, the floodgates opened and liquid shit just drained out of me, I couldn’t stop it. I was covered in natures waste. Took my hi viz off, my gilet and jumper to clean myself up. Went to open the door of the van, keys were in the ignition and phone in the cradle and it had locked. Van has a bulk head so no access to the front, I was trapped, shit all over the van ply lined floor.

My only way out was to open the cage on the bulk head and crawl into the front but it was such a small opening I didn’t think I could get through, it was my only option.

As I attempted it the floodgates opened again, nothing I could do. I did make it through, relieved but once again covered in shite. I still had a delivery to make. Got another hi viz and used my notepad to try and clean up. Got the parts out of the van, put them in the customer’s yard, rang the bell and asked them to carry into the factory from about 20 yards away.

Got home, stripped off, full of the brown, it had even run into my work boots which I binned, Mrs H bless her got all my gear and put it in the wash, that was apart from the hi viz involved in the second incident, I discarded that at the side of the road where there was a load of rubbish (I know, fly tipping which I’m ashamed off but not thinking straight). I returned to that company this week and what a surprise the hi viz was still there, picked it up and discarded

Was really ill after that, all the symptoms of Covid but no way of knowing as I couldn’t get in the Docs and the nearest test centre available was Glasgow.

I shudder to think what I would have done if I couldn’t get out of the van, it was an industrial estate on Friday afternoon, worst experience of my life

Can't believe we've waited 18 months for this post. End the thread!

Whenever I see hi viz vests discarded along the side of the motorway I just know they’ve been used by an unfortunate soul like yourself.

Yep the unvaccinated if they come into contact they have to isolate for ten days while the fully vaccinated cant train keep being tested and two negative test after few days they are fine. We can see the problem right there.

It's encouraging players to catch it now really, leave them immune from Omicron for the season.

Get that Newcastle game out of the way anyway, before they sign a load of players in Jan.

What player worth their salt is going there in January? They’re getting relegated.

Travelled down to London yesterday as a family of 4 to see Cabaret with Eddie Redmyne. Booked tickets in August. Train fare over £300, hotel over £400. Got a text at 2.30 pm to say the show was cancelled due to backstage staff members testing positive. Impossible to book tickets for anything else as half the west end theatres are shut. Worse things happen at sea, nobody’s fault etc. But if this carries on the entertainment industry won’t survive. I certainly won’t rebook as I can’t afford the outlay of getting here or staying here again.

The live music industry is in freefall (again) too.

Longer term a problem is going to be a labour shortage. Lots of people left last year to do other things, and I can see loads more leaving after Christmas if things don’t get drastically better.

As I said earlier this morning - I’m probably going to look for a new job over Christmas, I just can’t be arsed with this anymore. And it’s an industry I’ve worked in for 15 years.
