It is what it is.

However there are 10 more months of the year to make up the Jan/Feb famine.

some of the days are a little quieter gave up at 1 pm on Saturday after only reaching £48 but this week we have 12 airports in and I had to turn over 30 jobs down between 06.30 and 09.00 this morning :shock: so not too bad at the moment dead this afternoon though BUT I personally think that the economy has gone back to bad ways and people are funding excessive xmas new year spending through credit based on perceived gains in house values as soon as the house price bubble bursts :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

One of our drivers picked up a customer this evening. The customer works for our main competitor. When asked why he had called us he said that the other firm had no bookings for tonight so they were not working.
