Ok so you turn up at a supermarket punter with a monthly shop when do you put the meter on? when you have loaded the shopping and the bums are on your seat or when you arrive at the shop?

Thats the point I guess....provided you put the meter on with able bodied people when you get out to assist.....its probably ok with the disabled.....however if you dont....it isnt! :wink:

Some of our drivers charge per bag loaded. Last time I can remember the cost was about 15p a bag.

and to me that seems totally fair, "time is money"


Have you ever done a "Horlicks" advert?



can you explain that?

are you disagreeing that a driver should be paid for his time?


Well, "wannabeeahack" Did you never see their how do you sleep at nights series of ads a few years ago?

Do you drive a hack? Is it a wav? do you hit the start button on your meter when a punter opens the door, or when they are sitting comfortably?

If you say so Cap. as long as "wanna" treats the disabled and able bodied equally, there would be no problem with the DDA, would there? (would there?)

No problem.

It was an attempt at humour.
