Well good luck in what ever you do next! I will give this job up if I stop enjoying it or start earning much less but for now I am happy doing the job! It really is not that bad for me but I make most of my money before 10am as after that it slows right down til about 3pm and then its only busy til about 10ish.

I would ask but I cant get near the place with all these bloody roadworks!!


Everything, is relative to your personal situation. If you happen to have a wife with a good job or low outgoings, you won't be effected to the same extent as say someone buying a plate, a cab or a house with a big mortgage.

However, you know when you've been in a job too long when your earnings are half pro rata than what they were twenty years ago. I think that's the real measure. :-|

Just remember Skull, there are, “Restrictions”, in every, “Job”. Wether that means, you, “End up”, workin’ as a, “Lavvy Attendant”, or whatever, there are, “Restrictions”.
Now, if you were lucky enough to get a, “Lavvy Attendants job”, (No pun intended).
You might, indeed, feel less restricted. You might, for example : put your tounge to good use for a change, ( saving the toilet brush), but there would still be restrictions.
You must have looked daft enough chasing a poor guy in his, “Range Rover”. Imagine the scene if it was someone wae’ his “Troosers”, at his ankles !.


What we are talking about here is your feeling of emasculation, because unlike you, I won't bend over and take it up the arse just to do the job.

You don't need to feel pathetic and weak if you end up before the cab inspector or the council, Fairplay, it's not like you've ever had a backbone. After all, you'll only be asked to give Inspector Smith a blow job and spill your guts to councillors to keep your job. It shouldn't be a problem for someone like you. :badgrin:

Skull, yer’ bletherin’ man !. You, like me, cannae’ possibly know, ( no’ really), the vast majority o’ the Trade or the Public !. You’ve only came into contact wae’ the same as me, surely !. You, “Argue” that, it’s not about, “Perception”, it’s about, “I’m right”, and therefore anyone who, Disagrees with me”, is wrong !. I’ve worked in the, “Trade”, for nearly 14 years. ( A driver for 10 yrs). Apart from the last 18 Months, I’ve worked wae’ a “Company”. I can honestly say that I know “One”, Committee Man, and only cos’ a’ drove for him. ( A Gentleman he was too ).
That’s just the way I, and I’m sure most people, (Taxi Drivers), are !.
You, on the other hand, profess to know, what everyone in the, “Trade”, are thinking, what they’re earning, what the customers are like, what the motives of the Companies and Council are, “Everything” !. Have you never considered that it might just be you that have got things a wee’ bit, “Skewed” ?.

You’re a loser Skull. “You’re workin’, “On sommit’”, aye right !. Be a bit mair’ specific pal, cos’ nae’body believes you, liar !. One thing that you’re not is, "Coy". If you had been doing anything of any significance, this, “Forum”, would have been the first place To hear about it.
You’re a “Liar”, son....... just a liar !.

I would agree Fairplay. You are both ignorant and stupid in an equal measure and perfectly suited to do the job. :-|

Must admit Ali, you’ve got me there mate. Emoticons are no’ ma’ strong point.
I know, “Grammar”, might no’ be ma’ strong point, hopefully it’s readable. ( A’ no’ a’ might go a wee bit overboard wae’ the “Vernacular”). But Emiticons ?, nah, Exclamation & Question marks, are enough for me mate. ( Call me “Auld Fashioned”).
I’m of the, “Larry David School of thinking". Some things, that shouldn’t annoy me, do.

Ali, I was having a dig at the “Emoticons”. As for the, “Unprovoked” attacks, yer’ havin’ a laugh !. The, “Bile”, that Skull puts on here about the folk that he cannae’ possibly know ?.
Are you saying it’s wrong to question that ?, or to have a justifiable dig ?. Get lost !.

The, “Grammar/Vernacular” ?. Nah, you’re obviously no’ in a position to question that, again, get lost !.

as for the emoticons,i think they were invented because most people cant write to a sufficient degree to get their emotions over so its easier to add pictures to express emotion into what they write.
