    Coming soon - where best to buy envelopes? And a thread about how to correctly account for £2 placed in said envelope and posted through the door of a social club.
    Presumably a thread about how to obtain a VAT receipt for said £2 parking fee.

    With a bit of luck, Vodafone take on low grade BAU contractors as well, and then he can queue up with PC, so they can work these problems out between them.

    My thought:
    Darren, if you're really upset about contractors definitely breaking car parking rules, why not report their registration numbers to HR and let the company deal with it themselves.
    Does anyone know what the Vodafone disguised employee grievance procedure is?
