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.


hope you stay overnight...

Exactly that..... I'm licensed for London (Suburban badge) I can take considerably more money there than I would in Lowestoft. Plus I'm not licensed here and have poor local knowledge.

Suits me what I do.
