Thank You

Regardless of my own, however cowardly, involvement in our trade I'd like to sincerely thank all those drivers who continue to serve our clients. My father was transferred from Beaumont to the CRC today, a journey that on the insistence of BH had to be taken by taxi. Without you guys it wouldn't have been possible. Well done and keep up the good work.

You are a credit to our trade.

They wouldn't allow a lift even from a licensed taxi driver using a private car... not even with the offer of bringing the accompanying staff back. Red tape....

Seems to be... in a lot better form now and whatever brought him in (vomiting & chest pains) got fed up waiting for a diagnosis and fixed itself - wasn't gallstones in the end and remains undiagnosed with bloods and whatever was bothering them returning to normal... his walking has further deteriorated but he's been laid up and hasn't had a pint for a couple of weeks now - it's kinda a family joke that his shuffle seems to turn to a sprint after a couple of pints. Anywaysanall they brought forward a previously scheduled brain scan which also came back clear so we're hoping the CRC rehab will help.

I would think Rodent was out the back on a sun lounger enjoying canopies and coffee with his pin up model missus struggling with outrage that he was corralled  in his seaside multi story .He never said they were offering discounts just expressed his gratitude .A nice gesture .
