Black Friday grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Locally not too bad but Peterborough :shock: took me 20 minutes to get within half a mile of station and another 30 minutes to reach it and the retail parks are 2 or 3 miles from there but 5 miles of queues for the retail parks bringing the whole place to a standstill !!!!!¬!

another excruciatingly annoying American invention :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Two girls last night chatting away 'Just had my hair done, cost £40 but I gave her £50 cos its Christmas'

Gets to where we're going - thats £4.80 please, 'is that with the discount ?' I mutters that Christmas must be over, why do you say that she replies.

Well, you'll quite happily pay £40 for a haircut AND THEN give a £10 tip on top because its Christmas but you want 40p knocking off a fare that's less than a fiver ! Her reply ' Well if taxis were'nt so fuc*ing expensive I'd leave a tip, but if you're going to be ars*y about it take the fiver, but we won't be using you again (every other firm is more expensive) ! :roll: #-o :x

Dunno about you but I'm not in the habit of carrying a hover around with me. Locaiting said hover takes a lot more than 2 mins.

I drive a TX2 so the tree if I allowed it would go in the passenger compartment not the boot.

Even so in the time it takes you to nip home and hoover your boot you could have done a short fare.

Well I live 100 miles away from the area I work so don't have that advantage. In any case, time is money and some jobs are not worth the aggro.

Some trees probably small enough even for a tx boot they ain't cheap some people going for small anyway

Don't think I would want 100 mile drive b4 shift start
