TAXI?


Good morning Bloggets. It seems to be a nice day so far, though it is silly time in the morning. Hub left for work about half an hour ago. His taxi came for him, again, way before seven. He books it for five past seven, as before seven, they charge so much more, an yet that does not stop them from trying to pull a fast one and come early, he just makes them wait, every time, they never learn he is not as daft as he is cabbage looking, ha. I bet you didn’t understand that one? An old saying my parents used to use. God knows what it means, but, he fell for that trick only once. Really, our company are dreadful, they go the same journey every time, and yet, charge different prices. The traffic is always quiet, as he leaves before most normal people are out of bed?

It can vary from £8.60, to £12.90, for the same journey, of two miles.

One good thing about this company, their cars are very clean and always really nice cars, honestly, the last company where we used to live, oh my Lord? You never knew what the heck you were getting in? Or worse, what you were sitting on?

Often, something from the drunks the night before and when you can’t see, you don’t really know what you are about to sit on? I mean, you could keep the driver waiting, whilst you feel the interior of their cars I guess? But it would look odd?

Oh those cars used to make us laugh? As they entered the street, they would not toot their horn or knock at the door.

No need.

They could be heard from a far, back firing.

The smell of diesel would fill the air. As you tried to close the door on the taxi for the third time, you realised that actually, it was not going to shut properly, so you had to hold onto the blooming door and you never knew what bit was going to drop off in your hand?

What made it worse though was the driver would tell you that he had been under his car all day, trying to fix it. Oh he would not stop there, he would then say,

“Well, I removed the engine, and then removed the exhaust. Oh did you hear what happened to Jimmy’s car the other day? As he was going along the motorway, his wheel fell off! So I had to go to him and fix that!”

Very reassuring, don’t you think? To think what a handy driver we were with?

Hub used to say, he used to pray when he got in the car. Hahahahaha.

These ones are safe we use now, but naughty, very greedy in deed. Well because of their greed, we are contemplating on changing companies.

Hub has a meeting with his boss today, he is really sad; as his boss is leaving in two months, as are a lot of his colleagues. The heart and soul are leaving the company and all that is left are the workers, who do the job, but won’t get anything done for the future. So a difficult meeting, as Hubs passion for his job has gone. Time for a change I think? But as you know, jobs are not easy to find.

OK, teen is up. That is queue to leave and let him get on with life. He is seeing his girl tonight. Hmm! Later gators. xx
