You are all either working far too hard (Greedy bu99ers!) or nursing such massive hangovers that you can't face the bright lights of the computer screen (Greedy bu99ers)!! I'm the only one sad enough to keep checking for new posts and they are very few and far between. In fact, I'm feeling rather lonely; Have I done something to upset you, CC, Sussex? Have you fallen out of love with me [again] Toots? If this was a rank I'd have it all to myself!

Been working like a slave, and eating like a lord.

Perish the thought whatever made you think that I was snowed out and had to stay down the Wirral and couldn't always get to a computer otherwise I would have kept you company Consequently I decided to be a greedy git and worked rather more than usual getting fare an a half when we had a light dusting of snow

Steve a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you and all that use the forum. I have been popping in and perusing, but as you know I am a man of few words  and only speak when I have something very very very important to say.
As for grabbing I no longer have to, so I have been off since 6.00 am Sunday the 20th and will not be back until Friday the 8th. It is my way of helping out my fellow cabbies and their families by leaving more out for them. However in the New Year I will go back to help them out, as I do not feel that it is right that they have to do it all.........Tsh the things that I do for people.

We go fare and half from 9pm to 6am on Xmas eve and Xmas Day. Fare and quarter 9am to 6pm Xmas Day and Boxing Day. It was the overall figure I was alluding to. For the hours I worked I didn't feel 25-50% better off. I'm putting it down to the weather, and it being a weekend anyway. |

We go double fare from 6pm 24th til 6am on 27th and the same at new year from 6pm 31st until 6am 2nd |

Too busy with work, family feuds, ex outlaws going into hospital and trying to keep the peace in what turned out to be a madhouse on Christmas Day! SHMBO nearly set fire to herself trying to extinguish the paper hats from the crackers that caught alight on the candles around the table, one of the cats came in with half of next doors turkey and was very proud of himself, and a drunk lent against my fence and fell into the front garden! 
Just a normal day really!
Happy New Year all
