Absolute beauties out there.

On a slightly different track but consumption nevertheless; I recently (as they do) had a punter who wanted to get in with his food open - and eating it! I told him he was not getting in with it Open Or Wrapped.......he walks away....and then walks back to my cab to tell me........."drive you got issues", I reply........"yes I know" :roll: it sort of killed the conversation :D

Saturday was also a decent night.


Aren't you supposed to be doing plant hire by now?



That's another effing story.

So how did we all do this weekend?

Wasn't particularly busy either night round here and a lot quieter that previous years! Still did ok though with office parties etc. How was everyone else's area? In 2 twelve hour night shifts this weekend I probably had 2 or 3 idiots, I call that a result.....

Average at best.

Taxi drivers usually leave the trade feet first in a box. :shock:

The rest get thrown out prematurely. :lol:

Didn't bother at all, split with the mrs at the end of October. she controls the phone so haven't had a single job since then despite it being MY p/h licence she works on! Not missing the cab work though, what little of it there is on the Romney Marsh. The sheep don't go out very much!

The local night club (singular) in Ashford shut down, the one in Folkestone no-one ever goes there, the place is totally dead. It's only the school contract that kept me going.

Campaign for a proper RSA qualification like a CPC and you might get it to the status of a profession, a mickey mouse DSA or BTEC just doesnt cut it

It would take a lot more than a few bits of paper and some letters after your name. A sea change in attitude......

Cutting it doesn't cut it either. :wink:
