You do make a valid point, i.e. there are twelve months in a year not one.

But as that left winger Rumsfeld said;

There are known knowns. There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we now know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don’t know.

But it was the eloquence with which he delivered the orinal lines in a speech about, IIRC, Guantanamo Bay a few years ago. Classic!!

Maybe, but its more Like January through to March and I dont want the other 9 months to do no more than offset the awful 3 months...

It is bad and it will get worse, a lot of folk with a bit of Redundancy will see Taxiing or PH'ing as an easy option and produce a Higher Supply to Demand Ratio than we currently have. Not much can be done about the amount of customers but surely they could do something about the amount of Operators servicing these ever fewer customers needs...

It's the shadow economy you got to worry about. People will do whatever it takes to survive. If that means driving a hack or Ph while pretending to have split from their spouse and kids to draw benefits, then that's what they will do.

Be better if the free breeding Living apart Partnership brigade were to eat their own young rather than burden the rest of us with having to pay for them..or better still gnaw their own Chooks off before they have a clandestine family of Tax credit vouchers..oops sorry, children to perpetuate the national debt with.... :sad:
