Good Luck.

Although there are a lot on "Moaning Minnie's" here, I think that you've done the right thing.

Of course there's a risk. There's always a risk, but I shouldn't loose any sleep over it.

The laws of this land obviously don't apply to you and the person who you bought off then.

It's not, but I certainly would bet on the status quo.

12hours about 80 quid
Weekends the morning drivers finish early 4pm and then return at 10pm untill midnight
On weekends morning can make same 80 but when we return about 10 quid more it wasnt no point us returning at 10 as we were PH and most cabs had the work after 10 but was our rule so we had to go along with it.

You're not telling me what you made in a hackney but did tell me what you made in a PH. :-k

TBH I couldn't care less, and hope you earn thousands.
