it's only 08.00 and already I have had 3 requests from customers for either huge discounts or tick

request 1) 07.15 can I have an urgent taxi to get me home before partner realises didn't come home BUT can they pay when they have another taxi later :roll: :roll: :roll:
Unfortunately for this girl i know her a bit too well :wink: there will be no taxi booked later !!
request 2) will I go to shop and buy a bottle of vodka (this is kitkat an alcoholic ex cabbie) answer no but he agrees to have a taxi after my 07.45 wait and return to shop get him to shop they don't serve alcohol before 10.00 so then all the way back I'm getting can i have this one on tick so there's enough money later for another taxi to get the bottle of vodka which he needs to replace the one he's drunk to hide the fact from his girlfriend ! :roll: :roll: :roll:
request 3) Haycock hotel phones up can we book a taxi for this afternoon to Rutland water I ask her whereabouts at Rutland water are they going ( 20 miles around the perimeter) don't know but can they have a price gave them an approx price then was told they don't want it they were expecting us to give them a heavily discounted price to the nearest point then probably would have found out they were going to farthest side !!

this is going to be another bad day I can feel it

rant over

Half worked requestee 2 insisted on another wait and return to tesco's at 10.30 but had just £3.14 left in pocket so ended up doing a cheap fare :?

So your punters include a skint tart, a skint pi**head ex-cabby, and a hotel with the staff on the cheat.

Oh the joys of this trade. :sad:

I remember one who was well off his head, took 10 minutes to get his address out of him, 20 minutes to take him home and another 10 minutes while got out the car and counted out £12 in change

next day i found a twenty pound note on the car floor, passenger side...
