Jesus Skippy you'd need it to if your giving 25% off in your buzziest hours. I thought you said your missus was a scouser??? You must have to cover that up before you get home.

Nice one any way Skipp , I'll give your number out and you'll have half of Bootle ringing you up when were stuck in town over crimbo. If it becomes a problem then just change your sim.

These folk from Liverpool love a bargain :lol:
The reason I am doing that is the average day time fare is £4.50 going up to £6.00 after 10PM now the further you go the more it costs
a 18 mile run jumps from around £29 to £38, and as I work for myself I only have to worry about myself but business is booming as the word gets out I am taking more now than I ever did as I am the only one doing it, and there is no rank etiquette here punters take the cab they want.
I can run daytime tariff 24/7 as I have the only Halda meter even though its time and calender controlled I can select the day time tariff the rest cannot the have sheriffs or agia and other makes so the 25% extra goes on automatically :D
As around 80% of the borders is on the min wage or dole they only use cabs at weekends or when loaded with shopping
And my motto is if the wheels are not turning your not earning

Well done Skip, it shows then that the discount works. You'll be able to buy your missus a fur coat for crimbo, bad here mate my missus is probably getting furrrrrrrk all. Just make sure Mrs Skip don't were it when she comes down here though or no one will speak to her thinking she's undercover.
