Yep, Happy New Year everyone ;)

Here's hoping that 2011 is better than 2010 was (for me at least, maybe you had a great year last year..) :)

I was *somewhere* at 1am this morning, memory is hazy thanks to my good friend Glen Morangie, definitely not sober enough to even recognise a computer in those wee hours ;D

Bruce ::)

Happy new year all :D

I spent New Years Eve/Day as I usually do...sober as a judge & ferrying late night/early morning revellers back to their abodes ;)

This year was different though :(......On previous New Years, I've always found most passengers to be quite civilised & thankful that a cab has pulled onto the taxi rank to take them home, even though it is double fare....but everyone knows that though don't they ? ;)....it's New Years :D

It surprised me last night that practically every person/s I picked up gave me a load of (drunken) grief about the fare being double...asking me to justify why I'm charging this price ???

....."The council set the meter charges & the meters are pre-programmed to change at set times/dates. Ever since the dawn of man it's been double fare at Christmas & New Year" :P

....But you can't reason with a drunk & in their unbalanced minds, they are always right >:(

Don't think I'll bother next year....think I'll stay in & see in the new year with the wife & littl'un.

As for the drunken revellers that don't mind spending £100 on a ticket to get into the local night club & begrudge paying for a taxi when they come out.....next New Years, they can walk home ;)
