No £££££££ one Friday out 4 is worth anything nowadays. Friday nights years ago was the night to be out, nowadays it's not worth turning the key to start the motor up.

I've never liked working Fridays.

It's a bit like Xmas eve, expect to earn a few quid only to be always disappointed.

If I had my way they would be banned.

I wouldnt work nights on a rank ever again, i remember one night the rank was heaving, 2 lads got in with 2 young ladies, after 10 minutes 1 lad said "going the long way are we drive?", so i slowed down, and swung the car back saying "ill drop you back for free and you can try a different taxi", he soon changed his mind

well started at 3pm and worked until 11.45 so that's 9 hours.
taking £93 including tips
miles 120
fuel £25
left with £68 but im not finished yet
rank £18
now left with £50 and im still not finished
road tax,insurance,license fees, wear and tear, vehicle finance, cleaning and general running cost lets say £10 per shift so im left with 40 quid for 9 hours work, so much for a minimum wage. Just glad im not sitting in the house getting everything paid for of the state and having to deciding what game to put on me xbox while sipping cold beer with a pizza. yes its much more fun grafting your knockers off for peanuts.
