Go and see the local bribe taker, I'm sure he's got plenty on his books wanting a job where they can skim the system.

Don't, they run up repair bills, just go flatout everywhere, let all the junkies of the day in the car, and moan if there is anything wrong with the car, in my experience all they are are a liberty, I'm cheaper driving it by myself :? :?

cant argue with that, i used to do a regular run to Manchester, i did it so often i knew how long it took, i also always checked the mpg in the van (full to full), i put a driver on it one day, yes, he was 30 minutes quicker..........and 5mpg worse, doesnt take much to work out he was clogging it
