this year I am in the bah Humbug camp as it has been pretty calamitous and an absolute hellhole with demand surging and not having anything like enough cars

but I wish the rest of you seasons greetings

PS admins can we have a vote attached with 2 options Bah Humbug or Merry Xmas so that all on here can vote think it might be as close as the brexit pole :wink: :lol:

We are in the same boat regarding not enough cars available. If I had another 6 drivers I would still be turning work away.

Always Merry Xmas for me.

Even if the firm I'm on think it's great to send cars past customers waiting to clear work further away.

It appears they believe we get free fuel now. ](*,)

Clears outside office, about a dozen people waiting - 1st turn. Job offer 1.5 miles away. Declines. Job offer 1.3 miles away, declines. Job offer different plot, declines. Job offer 1/2 mile away, accepts.

Just as I set off message from office to all cars - 'Work waiting at office, no cars, please help out'. :roll: :roll: #-o =D> =D>

that's why we stick to good old fashioned radio

and it's easier to wish the drivers happy Christmas/new year etc etc. :D

if you get to a £10 job and a £4 job says "shes gone" and you ring the £10 customer who confirms they have been picked up then the £4 customer shows you the car reg that was supposed to be their car...................does you base take action?

Parked up on the 20th December, won’t turn a wheel until the 7th January.
I’ve done over thirty years of Xmas traffic, time to sit back and let the young guns do the heavy lifting.

Ain't that the truth, the traffic round here is a nightmare, anyone would think the shops aren't going to open again.
