Self-Employed PUP

The lads working are doing something right. I have been critical of NTA/Free Now for not giving clearer direction - in particular not advising drivers to wear masks and not advising those defined as "at risk" by HSE to refrain from working - but, on balance, the trade is doing well. Undoubtedly the safest form of public transport available.

Is that a fukkin joke with Ebbs, ? Be your own boss , that's a fukkin laugh for a start, flexible shifts since when do the likes of these cunts determine what hours you work ? And this one I couldn't believe , I thought it was a wind up unlimited holidays , is he fukkin joking ? Do these cunts REALLY decide what holidays you work ? Jeez it's much worse then I thought. Why do drivers put up with this crap  ? Why don't you tell all these cunts to fukk off. My blood is boiling to think self employed men allow themselves to be dictated to in this way

Technically, the drivers are self-employed so flexibility is inherent. Surprised he didn't mention 3 and a half ton a week from Govt to cover expenses?

[dalymount]

The drivers are and my bollox self employed. They bow the knee at every opportunity , and are quite prepared to be told what to do. Your buddy Kearns even came on here one day and told everyone in sundry how much a taxi driver earns

[Rat Catcher]

Technically, self-employed. While we work for dispatchers we aren't subject to PAYE and we have flexible shifts.

I think it was Roy's Vinny disclosed a grand a week takings. To be fair, most full-timers were taking more at that time... so it was a conservative figure. In fact I recall you telling drivers who work for Free Now that you take more than them, like Vinny disclosing the figures. For the record, Free Now has told us it's top drivers trouser €130,000/year.

I'd love you to find that for me what I am supposed to have said

[Rat Catcher]

I think it was 3 ton in a few hours of a Thursday evening... and you went on to say that was your normal, if memory serves. I haven't time to dig it out now, maybe later...

[Rat Catcher]

You made me find it, DM... I really should be cutting the grass or something now...

Some of your contributions:

2and a half meself seen as how were discussing figures

From 9last night till 3-30

I dunno,but that is pretty much my usual take for thursday .I only work thrurday/ Friday / and saturday nights

Well I done 2 and a half,in that time ,but I dont see a memory connection ?  I would usually be very slow to say what ny average take  would be,simply because its nobodys business,and im very sorryI mentioned.  especially on here

When you consider the outlay that we have,I wouldnt have thought thats great. Any less then that ,and I would get out of the game .that is not great money,its ok,but it is not great

SSseriously coola,I dont find it difficult to get that amount any givin thursday.it could be to do with the. fact that I very seldom rank ,mostly just drive around.any time  I do ranknot,its always  batchelors walk ,PWC, opposite the boat,or the new rank at the halpenny bridge
