Will add those to my list
I wouldn't want to go round picking up strangers anyway, seems a bit risky to be honest
back in the 80`s - yes long time ago - we had that bad snowy winter.
I was cabbing for a living (taxi`ing) was light years before I became 4x4 enabled,
was driving a sierra with snow tyres on, worked my butt off trying to meet the demand of those wanting a cab.
1) had to have hire & reward insurance with public liability - or no work!
2) yes, although prebooked fares, you never knew who it was waiting to get in,
got moaned at for being "late" after being the only car to get up the hill to there addresses
got moaned at for having wet smelly carpets in the back - caused by snow covered boots of the fares,
but at times the hassle made you feel just so good knowing you got a mum in labour to hospital, an old lady to and from a christmas party,
that sort of thing..
dont do it now, nooo nooooooo, had enough after 14 years (not all snowy) :lol:
but in my infinite wisdom retired early, and spent 6 years as community spokesperson - go between with local distric council -
ended up as a gofor for both council and lazy bar stewards in community,
so gave that the elbow saying enough is enough :monitor_punch:
would I join a responce group now ?
well to be honest, no, I feel I`ve done more than enough helping others in my lifetime.
would I go out and help someone if I was asked locally
yes, but only if those who asked had helped out others locally in the passed, NO if the stuck ones were uptherown rear ends who helped no one but themselves.
sorry, but thats my slant on life now.
ah, family ?? stuck ??
always bloody helping daughter & son....never ends ..lol
