You must have a better map than me. I got it to 142 miles. 
Didn't you get offered this contract, you told me you bid £100 a day. I thought I was taking the pi55 with my quote of £148. The price should have been over £200 to have any chance of making a profit. |

I have just looked up the company and it would appear that they are based in Melbourne. So that is another 20 miles to the pick up address.

One of the reasons I stopped bidding for local authority contracts too many who haven't a clue about how to calculate prices are bidding the same with Airport work too fuel is about 45% of the price on airports to get the job |

WARNING STRONG RANT CONTENT and today our local rag carried a big half page article calling for more volunteers to join the scheme because theyve only got 25 and want 50 plus ! no mention anywhere that there is a very large local taxi trade that can do the jobs albeit for a few pennies more |
