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.
