took her there and back and then 3 miles up the road to her friends for lunch £15.50 of which probably £8.00 was waiting time (at £12 an hour)

Just how many pensioners are going to go shopping on a bank holiday and have at least 5 people travelling?



None but the other year I did one from Trent bridge to Stamford 8 passengers and they decided to stop in Melton for 45 mins and nip into wetherspoons
