What a sales pitch, expansion!!!??? Steve lemme tell you something about taxi offices, there is a bloke who owns it, he's a greedy little sod and will say anything to recruit new drivers. What he really means to say is this...due to it being so bad at this time I've lost a few drivers and my pocket is suffering from it, please be a good (censored word) little black boy and come work for me. |

Depends on what you view as decent money. 
If you work like a c***, and blitz nights and weekends, then you will earn good money. But it all depends on what your outgoings are. Best bet is to get your license and try it for real. |

Mark, you gotta stop this mate, you work Brighton, Brighton is a trendy place right now and buzzes, but a lot of other places are dead, completely dead infact, I know it's easy to assume it's the same across the board but it isn't, come work here for a week, drive on Aqua Cars and spend all night running ppl about for £2.60/£3.30, you'll soon be running through the Lewis tunnel for the East again
