Merry Christmas everybody :p :p



I think it's how it's fallen this year with regards to how busy it's been. It's fell just right with Christmas Day being on a Sunday.

I heard it was the worst in 37 years of one driver's experience. I can't say she's wrong, worst in 16 for me :cry:

I don't even bother going out till late on Xmas Eve these days, so went out at 11, hoping to get a fare before the midnight, er, lull :roll:

Pushing 1am and I still hadn't got a run. Then out of the blue I got a £70er, came back got a £25er and finshed with £15.

So did £110 in less than an hour and a half, and that was it!! Quite happy since at one point I was wondering whether I'd even get a fare at all.

Pity it only lasted a short time, but that's about as good as it gets here and I've had a lot worse Xmas Eves than that.

Of course, in a small town where you only get a handful of runs it can work both ways - I could just as easily have gotten four or five short runs and went home with £40 or so.
