@ Tangarinearmy - what % do you own?

@ bart - cab firms may be ten a penny where you are but they aren't where I am and one of the biggest gripes from customers is how scruffy drivers can be. Drivers do not rule the roost they couldn't organise a p*ss up in a brewery ffs. That said it should be a team effort from everybody who plans to make a living from a circuit. May I suggest you use your satnav to find your brains :roll:

In answer to the question of what shoes do I wear whilst working, black trainers that look like shoes.

Most comfortable boots I've ever owned. A tad expensive but they last ages (just bought my second pair last year, the first pair lasted 15 years before the sole wore down).

I'd say I wore them for around 5 years in my previous job (outdoor manual work) and then the last ten cabbing, but I wear them when not driving as well.
