Disagree with the uniform bit and the dirty van.
As long as your dressed appropriately what difference does it make...it 'aint a fashion show.
This weather can't keep  van clean for more than a day.
No but you can

For the last two months I only washed my van twice, due to the lack of time, too busy, and after 2 days was dirty again, pointless.

Just Working out how to make a poll out of points listed, if I just start a poll we can Only vote for one which we think is the worst, it will not let us list them in order of priority :-\

But I will give it a go, like I said I will on list the technical ones  and keep the rest for another poll.
