He has only been full time in the game for 3-4 months. Prior to that he was part time for a base and the rest of the time he worked in Africa shooting pirates. (his story) He was a Royal Marine for 20 years. When he was part time he would take more in tips each shift that most drivers earn. He tells drivers that he is so busy it is unreal yet this loss of work from the station has put him on the breadline. He is the biggest bullshitter I have ever met and I have met some good ones in my time.


That's bull they aren't allowed to carry arms aboard merchant ships, for them to do so they need an (Arms Declaration) but, insurance companies won't insure some of them if they carry firearms.

We all know it is bull. It is difficult to take anything he says seriously but some people will believe his bull and it makes our job that bit more difficult.

Being a know it all is part of the problem.

Another part is when operators tell the gullible that they can earn bundles.

An operator down here once told a fella that if he bought an 8- seater they could take three grand a week.

Three f***ing grand a week. :sad:

Thing is if it was the case I would go out and buy 10 of them.

Pay the drivers £1,000 a week, leaves me with a yearly profit, after expenses, (10 cars) of over £500,000 pounds.

So when I heard that I said to the operator why doesn't he do the above.

Conversation soon ended.
