Haven't done either yet.

My van should be done in about a week. :)

Not bothered about a uniform though.
I'm not into that sort of thing.

I myself do not use an Embroidered top (it itches like hell if you have the size logo I do on tops, I have it screen printed (not the stick on's you get from a sports shop)

it said you can only choose 2 options on poll unless I am seeing things from sleep deprevation there is only 2 to choose from  ::)

Squeaky you are not into that sort of thing??? we are not talking about a nurses outfit  :o just one that makes you look more professional, just like your van yet the costs are about £20 a top.

If you go to work and do not look smart you are treated differently ;)

If the option was to choose one peeps with both would only be able to vote for one and not both.

Embroidered may have been the wrong word, I meant 'logoed' (sp?)

Dont worry about it, maybe the mod will make a charge in the code so if we make an error we can correct it, I posted a poll and got it wrong  :-\

I paid £70 for 5 polo shirts and a fleece to be Embrodered, When the Boss found out she went nuts ::)  How the hell was I to know she had her own embrodery machine ::)

She'll do mine from now on.  :P

Jeff,
When you answered on the battery post, and were having a go at split relays you forgott to tell ww that when your battery gives out merely starting the engine gets you out of trouble to finish the day. Plus I bet you put one on your van.
Sorry it's been bugging me.

Mods this is on topic because it is about generating for work. ;)

What I was saying about the split charge relay,is you will be wasting your money if you only do short Jorneys, If you cover a good milage while working the a split charge relay is a good item.
the relay would do better if you had a flat battery, if you gave your van a few more revs instead of leaving it ticking over, like when you use another vehicle to jump start a flat battery.
I wasn't having a go at relays, I'm just trying to stop a guy fitting one if he only does short hops between Jobs, like I my self do.

No I don't have a split charge relay fitted, I don't even use the one in my caravan, I tend to take my battery off every night and charge it independently, a few minutes work for 8 years of use from one battery, I must be doing something right. ;) hope this answers your question, I don't want to leave anyone bugged, with one of my replies.

As always you are very gracious in your replies Jeff even when I'm getting on your pip.
What I said was when you get a van you will have a split relay fitted as do all pro's.

I also use a charger, but I leave my battery connected on the van as I'm sure you will.

No I won't have a split relay fitted if and when I get a van, I just don't do the miles, it takes less than 20 seconds to whip the battery out and stick it on charge.
But I may just do as you do and leave it in the van and charge it in situ.

P.S. You have never got on my pip, but you would soon know if you did  ;D ;D ;D Takes a lot to wind me up ;)
