Default Price :O

As some of you know i work for a taxi company, obviously with all the problems caused by the volcanic ash we have been gettin asked loads of prices for journey's we wouldn't normally do!

The last one made me laugh tho....

"how much from Wales to chelmsford?" .... i had to double check what he said lol .... so i googled it, its 317 miles, 5hours 17minutes travelling time ... each way!

So what do you guys reckon their quote was....................

If I was in Wales. I'd pay whatever just to get the fuck out of the place. It's an insult having to pay to get in there IMO

How desperate do you have to be to get somewhere to pay taxi fares like that?
Why not just relax and enjoy the extended holiday?

Having said that, we are supposed to fly to Florida next Saturday for a cruise to the Caribbean for our silver wedding so I hope it is sorted by then!

Some people needed to be places like Weddings etc, the car hire in my work was proper busy. People doing 1 way trips from Heathrow to Liverpool so they can catch the Ferry to Ireland and vice versa.

Congrats on the Silver Wedding
