Did one yesterday carried a suitcase up to first floor flat she insisted on giving me a £5 tip providing good service by being helpful can either be financially rewarding or get you a good reputation and more/repeat work
and it's good exercise which you don't really get sitting in a car all day

Grandad,

Or tell you that they are coming out, so you wait at the pick up point and they don't appear.

Then they ring and ask where you are?

I'm at the f***ing place I dropped you and told you where I would be, that's f***ing where !!!!!!

I did a heathrow pick up once which was a 15 year old schoolgirl she didn't turn up for nearly 2 hours after the plane landed ! Turns out she was the pilots daughter and travelled as "aircrew" going back to the hotel with them for a while before coming to the terminal to find her taxi

and teletext had arrivals

The fella in question is an absolute whizz and his electric work is a beauty to watch.

However he was wrong and I was right.
