Dunno what van drivers you talk to then, but every single one I know, myself included, are always bitching about lack of air con!
Our office has aircon so the people in it, who are sheltered from the blistering sun, who don't do any physically demanding or sweat inducing work, have aircon.
Us van drivers, a lot of which do physically demading and/or sweat inducing work, don't have aircon. WTF is that all about? I'm out all day, in the beating sun, fitting glass (physically demanding most times) working on hot cars, sitting in traffic jams surrounded by cars vans and lorry's (and worst of all, London buses) that honk out steaming hot and poisonous toxic fumes, and I don't get aircon?!?! It's get's to 40+ deg in my van, and ambient temp (in this sort of weather) on the road in traffic jams is that or above!

I don't. Why should they be? See my points above about aircon - and why should you get taxed if you have a leather interior? What reasoning behind that?
thrush you missed the point you gimp
why should a person who uses there car to comute to places require a with leather trim and aircon when a person whos office is a van and NEEDS aircon if anyone and they dont get it
moan about it all you like,, you dont get it as its a LUXURY,,, for that reason company cars shouldnt have leather heated seats and aircon if they are used for business use
just like biscuits dont have vat applied to them as there food but if they got chocolate on them they theres vat charged on them as its now a luxury rather than food
think about what im saying ffs
people claiming 40p a mile for a car they buy for work just so the government PAY for there cars taht they buy based on there high milage at 40p a mile to allow them to buy a car,, IT MEANS THEY NEED A COMPANY CAR THAT THE COMPANY SUPPLY JUST LIKE THEY DO UNIFORM, STATIONARY AND TOILET FACILITIES
its a tax scam hole being filled and people are getting the hump over it cause they will have to actuall BUY there cars and use company cars and drive home from work in there own cars like nurses and teachers do every fucking day
the fire brigade dont seem to have a problem driving there cars to work and using the engines for work use only
