Just had a quick word with my brother.
Yesterday he did approx 14hours (3pm till 5am this morning). In that time he did 45 jobs, which works out at 3.2 / hour.
This was obviously a Saturday night, I assume Friday nights would be similar. I've asked him to total up the last 2 weeks. |

My brother is a private hire driver in Blackpool. He has his own car but drives for a company that take the bookings,... |

He got a very good price on an MG, but said that he really wanted something with LPG. MG said they would sort something out even though they didn't offer LPG in any of their cars. One ... |

| There was a newspaper article posted on here or maybe PH a few weeks back about problems with car alarms,immobilizer and central locking systems at a car park. Problem was finally tracked down to a faulty alarm system on a car that was giving out a strong signal that was interfering with other cars. |

We were all slowing down at the time (well it was rush hour) so I didn't immediately notice, so at the time I didn't... |

Looks like there is a lay-by the other side of the water, so may be people looking at traffic on the road but not that there could be vehicles about to pull out of the lay-by.
