are you looking to save yout % into the office or does that not come into it, if there are no savings your mates can phone the office and request you. no problems upseting the other drivers, all clients have a favourite wether it's because you carry the shopping or are sex on a stick, you buy what you like where you like.

Violent people these Crail residents. :wink:

Especially the owners of the lobster stall when you knock on their door 2 hours after they closed shop a few weeks ago. :oops:

There are idiots everywhere these days, take the picture postcard imagewith a pinch of salt.

About a month ago I asked a numpty heading home to Anstruther to get out of the car and not get back again when it became clear he had no means of paying. He aimed a kick at me when he got out, missed and came round to my side and put my window out.

IN last weeks paper an article was about another St ANdrews driver who was assualted by a passenger (both were female) when she wanted to go a few miles further and the driver said she would have to pay more.

And she was from Balmerino in North Fife, which makes Crail seem like a walk on the wild side. :x

I was reading an article in The Timesthe other week about Ming Campbell (I think his constituency is the area under discussion?) and it made it sound like the area's all sweetness and light:

I do not know whether Menzies Campbell’s method of electioneering can be transposed from the peaceful coastal acres and market towns of Fife to the grittier conditions of urban England. In Fife, he has created his kingdom, a world of its own, where the old virtues of friendliness, good manners and respect reign, “where seldom is heard a discouraging word, and the skies are not cloudy all day”.
