Bigger fool you. Everyone knows that there is a premium for taxis on bank holidays, particulaly Christmas. We get no complaints here, in fact most punters tip well.

try getting a plumber for a basic rate on xmas or new years day

years ago i took a bloke to work on a new years day, i was on time and a half, he was on FOUR times normal pay and a day off in lieu

my daughter was on £9/hour last year TREBLED to £27/hr for the xmas days she worked

working for SFA is like a Lady of the Night giving herself away FOC

when i quote extra for a fare they say "ill never use you again" and I say "youve never used me anyway"......lol

Many appreciate us working sh** hours and times, and I had a few today more than pleased to see my face.

As for the ones who don't appreciate us, a curse to them all.
