In 23 years of driving Taxis I've never had a run upto Christmas like this one, I was on the cabs back in the late 80's / early 90's when the recession was on and it wasn't half as bad as this.

At this moment in time we are struggling to take our running costs.

I can't wait for January.

I bet you could afford tapes for your radio cassette player then though.

We put tape over the holes on the top so we could tape over those that were pre recorded. I was a Techy sort of guy back then.

If I go South of Luton I get a sweat on.

I went to Heathrow a few years ago, I had to be bought back in the Air Ambulance because I'd got the bends going round the M25. :doubt:

Don't know about that.

Compared with previous Xmas this ain't looking too clever.

But did any of us think it would be different?
