Kept busy last night, for a change everyone wanted to go out and then as usual all wanted to go home at the same time. Ferried the Rotarians around from hotels to Spa and back again, glad they came to Bridlington this weekend as that boosted our takings.
Why is it everyone who gets into the taxi talks about the weather; It's too hot, too cold, too wet, too windy, too misty! What's the weather going to do tomorrow? Haven't we had a terrible summer or haven't we had a glorious summer. When is it going to rain again? Mind you we are rather obsessed with the weather here in England, but just to remind everyone, I am a taxi driver not a meteorologist. If you do want my opinion though, I think it has been a fair summer, lots more sunshine and definitely warmer than last year but with a few days of rain in July and August. Lovely weather now though which should carry on for a couple more weeks I believe (or so the weatherman says on TV!)
Another question which is asked by 99% of my passengers is; 'Have you been busy' my answer is always 'Fairly'. I don't really know if people are generally interested in our business or perhaps they are just being nosey! They also want to know what time I am finishing or when I started which I always think seems odd but maybe they just think they must start a conversation with something. My husband has made a notice which he sometimes puts up in the taxi which says, 'Yes I have been busy and yes I am on all night/day'
