Cheers

Yeah, still carrying on with the NiTe thing... but work is getting tedious at Network Rail and theres far too much girly b....ching between the "supposedly" grown men in my dept, for me to be doing with.

This new one involves installing/upgrading IT systems in GP surgeries/practices throughout the NorthWest ..so will no doubt be full of a cold from one week to the next.

Why is it you always come out of a doctors surgery with more things wrong with you, than you go in with?

 thanks for everyones support

the pug will be used privately, i realise i will be taxed on this, and ill have to put fuel in for private use, but it means my car can stay in the garage throughout the week instead of running back and forth to work (which was a 42 mile round trip, with this new job its within walking distance) and come out to play at weekends (weather permitting) and for more trips to car club events, thus saving on wear & tear, mileage and petrol (with optimax now at 93.9p a litre at the local Shell).

handed my letter of resignation in today, had to give one months notice, but ive got holidays and time off due so hopefully thats negotiable

its really up to you, a lot of people are finding it more
beneficial to own their own and take the car
allowance instead. I know quite a few of the people
in my place are now taking the allowance instead of
the car.

Small Medium or large,Mell i am just stating a fact

My dad has had company cars for many many years and it is now cheaper for him to own and run his own car for his work

How much have you been stung by your BMW insurance for having use of a company car!!

I have just received renewal of 695, 6000miles only for my 1990 E30 M3!! Last year, it was 555.

If you are being taxed for private use, then I would suggest you take it and reduce the mileage use on your BMW othewise it will start to eat away at your pocket.

Congratulations on your new job

Maybe you would have been spending some of your time here in the future, if it were still online....

Could be worse, as said previously could be a Rover. lol

Nice going getting a company car.  I have to earn my stripes first before I can qualify for a company car but I'll opt out and take the cash equivalent and keep the E39 going or buy a bigger faster newer one!  (shh don't tell the Mrs!) Hmm E39 or a 1.6i Focus - difficult decission!

Can you not opt to take the cash or do you have to take the company car?

I'd love a company car to use on business instead of hammering/tearing the ar$e out of/ the E39 up and down from Inverness to Llandudno and all the dirt tracks that lead to the railway sites I visit.

Means you will be able to cherish your Bm even more, only use it at weekends and in good weather to keep it in tip top condition.

Snow, ice, skanky roads - use the company Pug!
