The taxi trade is a young guy's game, and anyone with about 20 years in, either lack the legs or the will power to make money now.

Yes you can earn a crust but not much more than that. There is no quality of life in driving a taxi any more and while you can always find people worse off than yourself 60-70 hours for feck all is just too much.
