    Milan - you should read "The Book Of Dave" by Will Self - enough to put anyone of the idea of cabbing (not mention marriage, religon and genetic engineering!)

      thanks, I am currently not thinking of being a cabbie, Benes Plan B moves forward just fine.

      Roots, you have to admit, bog standard in any techie area is going to pay the worst.

      Sounds like, with the greatest of respect, you're just lazy, anyway leave the new fangled for me and we will all be happy

              I was talking to a taxi driver in woking and he owned the licence, cost him about 55k gbp and he reconned he was bringing in 3k a week.

              Milan.
              Black cab drivers in London earn as much as your 'average' computer contractor

              PS just started reading The Book of Dave
              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                Think about it. When the lower earners of society are all buying BTLs then who the hell is there left to rent.
                It's all true... 2 years ago I bought a Picasso for 430K, sold it last month for £2.1m

                  The average cabbie earns 4 times as much as their average customer.
