Hi dudes,is anyone else having a much quieter month than usual, or is it just us? We are doing our best but the drivers are getting very grumpy.

September, October and November have been 3 of our best months ever. Last December is the only other one in the frame.

for me it started slowing down at the end of September (unusual compared to previous years), then slow October (which is quite normal) and even worse, November (usually one of two slowest months but this one is really bad).... can't wait 'till end of this crappy time of the year... :sad:

November has been a killer round here, it could be the calm before the storm. I'm not holding my breath though.

That would make the lads very happy but make paying everything a bit tricky! But other times when it's continually busy we don't get any thanks!
