For a moment I thought you were bullsh*ting.

Question though.

What did you mean by 15 fuel 10 service 171 wage?


Thats roughly what it breaks down to, I normally put £30 a week away for servicing and tyres and £30 in an instant access Isa for the money grabbing bar-stewards the tax man, average weekly fuel use £80


Defo not bullshine then?


No BS Jimbo, I am lucky here as I have hardly any dead mileage on local runs around 75% of the time

75%? Of course, the world famous 25% discount.

Don't know where you got your figures from but the fuel and wear & tear on the vehicle for 45 miles is approx £9.00 at current fuel costs and considering the type of vehicle he drives. Even the people who are employed with regular wages coming in have fuel or transport costs to work, they also have to pay tax etc the same as everybody else so they don't earn £100 per day either.

I'm not the one that classified this job as unskilled, but, it is and until such time as it isn't it will remain so. With regard to qualifications to do this job I have plenty and I needed them to keep doing it.

Every year I do a business plan to ensure that I will indeed earn enough money to justify the expense of continuing in this trade and if there comes a time when it's no longer viable I will move on to something else. Perhaps it would be as well for you to do the same rather than hang on until you get what you want, it may be too late by then to get back all the time you've missed with your family, perhaps you should go be a train conductor, with a wage of approx. £26,000 per year it's not bad going.


Can't you read?

How does 28 miles each way equate to 45 miles?

And, you've just proved me right. You do try to defend the indefensible.

Read this again. And pay attention.


Get over youself I made a mistake the £9 should now read £11.20. The rest of it stands as is. If you can't do this job because it doesn't give you a proper financial return then the sensible thing to do would be to swallow your pride and get out. When and if Edinburgh do derestrict come back into it then, but, before you do I suggest you complete a business plan to ensure that you will earn enough money because you'll have a vehicle to finance. God forbid that the one thing you want prevents you from all quality family time you think derestriction will give you. If the sums don't add up get out, simples


Toots, I told Jim, when he wrote this post, you would jump to defend the indefensible, Toots the stalwart of the system, no less. No matter how bad it gets Toots. You will always be ahead of the game. “Look at me guys and girls, I must be doing it right, whereas you lot,have got it all wrong”. Oh I forgot, you will say just about anything to be noticed.

Consider yourself noticed Toots.

CC,
the majority of your posts towards Jasbar and Skull are clearly Homophobic, now as a rep of the NTA I think that is totally unacceptable, you should be more responsible with your posts. Are you going to repeat these Homophobic comments in your Magazine when you cover your big 'Article' on de-restriction in Edinburgh, NO I don't think so!
What you fail to see is that your post's are not funny and if anybody is taking the [edited by admin] then it's Skull and Jasbar not you.
Wether you like these pair or not they are entitled to their opinion after all it is a forum not a site for you to empty your bile.
Some of the posts from Skull, Jasbar and Yourself I agree with some I do not, but users of this forum want sensible debate not 'Schoolkid Humour'., maybe then you would get more posters, because all we are seeing is Tit for Tat comments but yours are OTT
