Not any more mate when I sold mine no one else was selling that's why I got a good deal
About a month ago a private hire company sold there hackney plate for 50k with a 57 plate e7 because they are one of the £3 firms so whoever buys it has to do £3 fares an pay £100 week rent an that was what every company was asking for as every company other than five twos are all local £3 some people were asking us if they could put the car in the company but most of the partners said no but when they they put the asking price to 50k one of five twos owners decided to buy it an put it into the company.
Five twos is the one an only hackney firm here the one I used to own an work for.

How many of them buy property in Spain or Italy in the middle of a recession with the proceeds of the sale of a business they relied on for an income?

I suspect (and hope) that the person behind this thread is a joker, surely nobody would work a full day for the kind of money he's saying he earns.

Personally if I haven't made in the first hour what he claims to earn in a day then it's been a bad start!

£12.40 a day would be no good to me, I'd be trying something else!!!

I was talking to an owner/driver earlier today. She was just filling in her work sheet for yesterday. Her profit for the day was £11.20. My comment was "you actually got out of bed to earn £11.20?"
