technique if you get a drunk and weather or not they can get in your car? i judge by there speech and if they can stand on their own feet, today i got a hire to a pub, quite hard to get to as most of the streets around it are blocked off due to lots of road works, usually wouldn't go for it as for the difficulty getting there but it was a £6 hire so may as well, anyways approaching the bar put "996S" to do ringback and two guys come out dragging this severely drunk man towards my car, he looked as if he had pi**ed himself and could barley stand just as one of the sober men is about to pull the door handle i hit the lock button put my window a bit and tell them that he isn't getting into my car in that state, i drive off and a few minutes later i get radioed through asking why i refused to take the passenger, i told her that he was in a right bad mess, and would have to find a idiot driver to let him into the car, she agreed with me and didn't send any more cars out to the pub, even though they had phoned several more times, i mean why would you put someone in that mess into someones car just to make a mess of it? phone an ambulance that whats i say. how do you judge who gets into your car?

i picked up a man a good few year ago off the rank at about 8.00pm, anyways i drive to the house drop him off he gives me the money gets out nothing out of the norm, i was putting the money in my dish putting the interior lights out when next think i know this women comes out from the side of the house with a knife in her hand bawling and shouting like hell threatening to stab him, and she then screamed "who brought you hear!" the second she said that i slammed the car into reverse and turned round and got out of there, scary experience and must have been his partner who he had broken up with or something, and on a less violent note, in 2004 i had a young man who i picked up from a bar, he sat in the front and while we were driving along the road i head the jingling of money, thought he was just looking through his pockets to get money for the fare, i then looked down and seen he was taking money out of my money dish (i have two one with pound and two pound coins that is in the ashtray and a separate tub under the handbrake with coppers and silver) he was going through my pound coin dish i seen it and by luck i had a lit fag in my left hand so i put the end of the fag on his hand and told him to put my fu**ing money, back he couldn't have been faster getting out the car when we arrived at the destination, and with a burn hand in the process,

If you don't want to do a job, don't do it.

If a job looks or sounds iffy, then more times than not it is.
