Most likely Satellite, I don't know much about any of the operators to be honest, I just know Argyle and Satellite are the big 2 and thought it would be best going with one of them.


Neither do i .. but i would guess your second operator mentioned would be the better choice there

Toots, you didn't tell him to do every half ar5ed course available, VRQ, NVQ, Btech, VD Scar (and Bar), Ambassador, welcome, un-welcome, formula 1 tyre changing and midwifery for beginners. Can he do them in his first year in your neck of the woods?










Shall I just queue at the Bar and buy by the bottle?

I suggest you do :wink: The VRQ is a must before you start here. Personally I prefer my course but then my course is far too useful for other operators to desire it as mandatory. What I will say to any ph driver is if you can afford your own ops license £125 per year get it and get some of your own work.

Horses for courses I guess, I prefer to provide a better service than just pick up and drop off and I select drivers that also wish to provide a better service too, it pays to care :wink:
