Unfortunatly I don't subscribe to Rock Mountain News.

Nor do I believe much of what is written in any newspaper particularly when it comes to quotes, the reason for this is simple. Take any quotation in any newspaper but we'll use your example of an illustration.

"I work exclusively at the airport," says Adam Bartolik, president of ProTaxi, an organization for drivers. "None of us would be out there if we didn't make a living at it."

There is no contunuity when the quotation is joined together ie
"I work exclusively at the airport, none of us would be out there if we didn't make a living at it." The single quotation answers two posed questions and probably only contain a small part of the answer given.

Maybe if you concentrated on Eastbourne and got your head out of the Rocky Mountains you may actually achieve something.

Dream your dreams.

The point being made by Mr Rocky is that if you can't earn out of the trade you are in, then get out and stop whinging about it.

It must be an absolute joy for many customers having to listen to drivers moaning and moaning and moaning.

That, if nothing else, puts them off using cabs. :shock:

The the point being made by the Rocky Mountain News is that Adam Bartolic works exclusively from the Airport and he wouldn't be working exclusively from the Airport if he wasn't making a living from there.
