Ya know we all hate sitting for ages outside peoples houses/pubs etc waiting for them to come out -
So why do other taxi drivers (from the same company) do exactly the same when they phone ?

Three of them last night, every single one of them kept me waiting. You'd think they know better.

I think the BBC is getting very boring.

What we need is some nutty US type talk shows.

Back to gripes. Parents who can't control their kids. :sad:

stupid council office set up at grotsville

2 process your vehicle license application you have to sit in a queue and get called to a desk marked cashless then after processing forms are told you can't pay at that desk and have to queue again for another member of staff to come down and call you to another desk where payment can be taken :roll:
