Cab wise, absolute [edited by admin] as usual, but luckily had one of the buses out on a wedding job; we got a £40 tip too!! Friday night wasn't too bad, just me covering the work, a few local trips between 11 and 0100, 45 miles, £65. Beats going to Gatwick for £75 like some of the numpties round here do! (165 mile round trip,4 hours work).

It was too nice to work.............so I didn't, and consequently did not make any money, but a night down the bay, and then onto a pub made for a very good night........... Got the rest of the year to make money Trade wise it is pretty predictable, usually one good weekend out of four., Friday was alright ish, with Saturday looking to have all the ingredients to be a good shift. Unless something miraculous happens, I can NEVER see it getting any better.....................THIS IS THE WAY WE LIVE.

Saturday was good for us. This week, Monday to Sunday, has been my best week this year for cash jobs. I also had a good week for contract work. This coming week is also looking good. |

There is money out there, it's just folks are scared stiff to spend it. |

Strange that.
