fooking hell :lol: :lol:

£2 on normal fare ?? surely that's illegal? after all you pay what's on the meter? surely if the fare came to £7 on the meter & you ask for £9 , might be a problem :lol:

worst night of the year for us virtually no jobs till midnight and then a 01.00 job for each car and that's IT used to be a great night but now every punter expects and demands an 01.00 pick up a few will book for later then phone up on the night demanding an 01.00 pick up

I really don't know why we bother
