Productivity increase, I guess... in idling you finally found something at which you excelled... well, I did, anyway!

I suppose strictly speaking driving around looking for a fare , is "looking for work".

Unless they play the Joker .How can you be available to take up alternative work if you are already working ?Plus how do you define financial hardship .

The same way you can be available for work and painting your kitchen or watching the horses on your television. The same applies to Jobseekers Allowance... by definition you have to be a Jobseeker to claim it but you can still drive a cab 11 hours a day if you wish provide3d you're making little or no profit.

Financial hardship doesn't come into it. It could be years before someone who's been driving a cab for a couple of years gets to that point. There is, however, a good case for subjecting PUP claims to means testing - like JA - going forward... and I wouldn't rule it out with that Mehaul cunt calling the shots... Dr. Leo was great, they should rename Pearse St to Varadkar Road in recognition of his service.

But as an expereinced SPSV driver you would know that can't happen. Streets are inside the canals and Roads are outside. Maybe Leo Street?

You have me thinking now..what about Adelaide road, Harcourt road, Cumberland road and possibly others?

How did the street vs road thing come about anyway?

D.M.P used to patrol inside the canals.

R.I.C outside IIRC.

We were discussing the merits of renaming Pearse St to Varadkar Road in recognition of Dr. Leo's handling of the pandemic and perhaps, to a lesser extent, his handling of Brexit.

Maybe they could rename Sherrif St to Martin Road to remind us how Mehaul reduced our puppy dole (not yet but it's coming) and tried to make the bars close at 23:00.

Street and avenue definitions tend to apply to planned cities with grid systems such as New York, in ancient cities such as Dublin it's a bit more arbitrary
