I'm dreading going back on the road.Not because of the virus.But I don't know how quiet/busy it will be once we're all back.

I could spend the next six months saving every spare euro working hard for a newer motor and this time next year it will be still shite.I'll have a newer reg underneath me but earning fuk all for a heap of hours.

I think the bad years of 2009/10/11/12 have scarred me brain.Dont wanna do it all over again at the mercy of an app who definitely will be raising commission again.

I'm gonna see how long I can stay on the scratcher for before I'm means tested.Maybe next year will be better..

You can go back and give it a try without losing a payment
Sign off the payment on Monday (you'll have worked one day (Friday) and will therefore be entitled to one weeks payment, then on the following Thursday sign back on if it's crap, this will give you proof positive when filling in the welfare form that you are entitled to the payment

I agree completely.
The 2008 2009 2010 plus were horrible times.

I can honestly say, it had a profound affect on my mental health. I really dont know what to expect when I go back,the thoughts of it are worrying.

To add, I spoke with a colleague I met by chance the other day and he was telling me of a fella who was back working (dont know why ??!!) He  went out at 745am and by 5pm he had 21 Euro.

Thats 21 Euro.

I'd say the Kesh is moving along now, if you're driving around the streets waiting for a hail and are not with a dispatcher or don't have your own bookings ,,, forget it.

I've been back a month,and while it's slow,it's not that slow.
However,if the taxi driver in question is a man of a certain age who sits on his favourite rank because that's what he's always done,then he could certainly make fuck all,because the game has changed.

Not quite sure how the kesh is doing presently.

The planes are going because the tickets were sold months ago and if they dont go they have to give the cash back --try booking a flight for this w/e and see the price-punters dont bother cancelling as rebooking is as much again-the US flights are mostly repatriation but as with European Flight --ticket sold so empty seats--with  business class full of the aircrew to fly the plane back as there are no lay overs for crew--they dont leave the plane !

I've been out to the airport 3/4 times a day since Tuesday (twice on Monday). the ramp has been busy today and yesterday, Kesh half full

People going home to their families, a little bit of business travel, one holiday maker off to Amsterdam, tomorrows OK as well

Kesh "half full" or "half empty" ?

You forgot about the fact every person getting into the taxi with a mask on could be a planning to pull a knife on ya. make sure you can protect yourself if that happens.

Isn't that what the screens are for!!

But you're right,i bet there will be a bit of that gonna happen!!


Sure one good kick and them screens will fall to pieces or they could just use a gun.

I filled out the covid form yesterday, there was only about 3 questions, the main one was when are you going to go back working, i said this month. pointless.

I would be too worried about it being quiet yet, sure the pubs haven't even opened yet, lets see what happens when they do.

I told them I'm staying out for another 3 months. I've a funny feeling we'll be in lockdown again before Christmas. I think they're just letting the kids out of their cots for a few weeks before they put us back in again before Christmas.  They had to. The place would be smashed up if they didn't.

Got a notification from the welfare that they’re cutting my Covid payment to the €200 based on my income returns for 2018, bastards
