this morning is a typical example of the volunteer sector NOT providing service

got a phone call at 06.30 how much to Addenbrookes (50 minutes away with little traffic) and could I do one straight away quoted them T1 ( £60) and 10 mins phoned back 5 mins later and booked the chap was due for operation at 07.00 am and had booked a volunteer hospital car for 05.15 it had not turned up :roll: although he told me that the driver had phoned him the night before. half way through the journey the chap received a call to tell him that the driver had had a problem with his car and had reached the house (about 07.10) he had already told them he couldn't wait and was in a taxi !! On return popped round to his sister to collect fare (she was paying for it to help him out) but he arrived at the hospital 40 minutes late for a major operation still a little stressed and agitated although I had done my best to calm him down on the journey

Very unprofessional service from the ambulance car service !!


all the allocated driver had to do was ring Ambulance control and they would have covered the job with ease

Who in their right mind is going to get up for a 5.15am booking at 40p a mile?

Certainly not me.


Ive seen plated school runs go for 80p per mile LOADED (i.e. one way)....which averages LESS cos the volunteers clock it from their door and back (no dead miles)

believe me he had been phoning them since 05.30 but was fobbed off and told to wait till 07.00 when the controller for the car service started

A plan well your the only one evidently and after sustained examination of it I must say it appears to lack detail eusasmiles.zip

what is demonstrated here by the morons is its easy to lambaste and criticize a tactic" GET UNIONISED" but when asked how would you address this situation we are met with absolute silence Sussex Wannabe Bloodknock Edders Gusmac Capt Cab and the rest cannot present an alternative to GET ORGANISED so can anyone be surprised that this Charitable scam could be heading your way soon and of course your are all well prepared are you NOT :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin:

THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED AND STOPPED GIVEN INTELLIGENCE DETERMINATION COURAGE AND UNIONISATION IT COULD NOW STILL BE HALTED BUT GIVEN THE REQUIREMENTS IT APPEARS SHALL WE SAY UNLIKELY ??

This one has really impressed on me the utter stupidity of workers in this industry and posters on this site and surprisingly enough the posters on here represent the INTELLIGENTSIA OF THE INDUSTRY,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,FFS :twisted: NO WONDER YOUR BOTTOM OF THE LEAGUE

You will note i never included GBC in my criticism for like londons finest or not THEY WILL HAVE A RUCK AND BELIEVE ME THE TP&H [PCO] ARE VERY WARY OF THEM =D>
