I used to do that
long time ago, then got in to teaching. The kids were actually better behaved than the cab-drivers.
There's nothing funnier than a 40yr old man having a full-blown temper tantrum because he had a bum run.

It's not my first choice of job, but it's ok.
The money's fucking rubbish though.

The all-nighters were brilliant,
could get through a novel a night no problem once the pubs had kicked out. About 2 jobs an hour after that, bliss.

I average 120 jobs on an eight-hour shift
So I'm not massively busy. If I could do all my work at once, I'd probably get it done in thirty minutes.

Are your jobs computer allocated,
or are you going from paper & memory whilst frantically flicking through an A to Z?

The latter
Fortunately it's a medium-sized town and some villages, so local knowledge is pretty good. I've managed to scrounge a copy of Autoroute which has dragged us into this century.

Old-school!

Sounds exactly like my old job. You're not in North Wales are you?

Nah, Buckinghamshire.
I only intended on doing the bloody job for six months to tide me over. I've been here eighteen months. Stupid rubbish job market.
