Taxi Driver Online :: View topic - So Who else id working Christmas Day ?

I'll give it a miss as well. But then again there is naff all on the telly. :wink:

In the 30 odd years of driving a taxi I have never worked Xmas day.

Although I am sure there is good money to be made it is still a spit in the ocean relative to your years takings.

Guess Xmas means different things to different people, to me it is spending time with family, eating a far to large a dinner and eventually getting bladder'd.

So whether you work or not, I wish you all a very happy Xmas and prosperous new year

I have worked every xmas day for the last 14 years although the workload dwindles year on year as more drivers work it. I do it partly for the money and partly because it makes other peoples christmas's So who else on here works xmas day ?

I might come out for an hour or two. And no-doubt sleep through most of it.

When it's busy on Christmas day, it's very busy. But when it dead, oh boy is it dead. So I will be working the first few busy hours, and eating and drinking (tea and coke, I'll have you know) for the rest of the day. Boxing day, now that's a very nice earner thank you.
