Went to my local branch of Travis Perkins yesterday of a couple of lengths of achitrave. I took the Hilux pickup as I needed 3.6 metre lengths.
Anyway, after paying for the wood, I was standing in the pickup bed strapping everything in when I was, politely, asked to get down as their new H & S policy did not allow customers to climb on their vehicles in case they fell and were injured.
When I, politely, enquired how I could strap my wood in, the guy offered to lend me a step ladder!
Apparently it's safer to perch on a step ladder than stand in the flat, level pickup bed!!
