See the pyschology of the medals working subconsciously, even though we don't like it, there is a desire to achieve gold, yes to know that you are getting more work, but also to get a medal, and show the boss how good we are.

What percentage of your work would be fn? Do you work mornings, evenings or nights. Is there much happening at night? How do you feel about every potential customer off the street being ballied up? Do you stop at night for blokes with masks on? I'm trying to get my head around the new normal as far as our job is concerned.  Most importantly,  are you worried about catching the disease? I've breathing problems as it is, not too sure how id feel with passengers coughing and spluttering everywhere.


Fn and sitting outside pubs etc
Not much on street
Normally do afternoon and evening
130 is a late sat nite now
Everyone is masked just watch the track suirs

So the screen does matter, cause i hardly see any prebooks either. Just one or two and gone in an instant.

I have no problem with that.

Are you a Dublin driver 42? I'm slowly but surely losing my sanity (what's left of it) sitting around.  I wouldn't mind going back to work if there was work to go back to.
You were advised a long time ago what to do Horse.

But you ignored all that advice along with others stating;
Nazies/Germans/Multi-nationals, Etc and other Bull$hite about them owning us....

The Long and Short has been explained in detail before.

I was advised about that a long time ago. Really? How, in what way? If you're saying you were advising me to become an ambassador BEFORE the disease then you are correct.  Only thing is I would have never become an ambassador before the disease,  unlike you. I was quite content getting my own work from the ranks and streets with minimal work from fn, unlike you. That has now changed because of the disease.  Because it has changed i must also change.  So dont start your "I told you so" bullshit. You changed long long before any disease,  motivated purely by greed. My motivation is survival ken, not greed, unlike your motivation.  I'm just saying it like it is kenneth.

I spoke with a staff member from Fire restaurant who says they only use Lymp because they're guaranteed a screened cab.

'Greed' is a Big word to use against me Horse, I think Smarter or Wiser would be a better choice of word as I easily make multiplies of your Pox Covid PUP per week.

I have posted openly and honestly since this pandemic occurred in an effort to keep other forum users honestly updated, but you seemingly know better than me, let you do it your way and I'll do it mine.
