Good Friday?

[U Wha]

Just wondering will everyone hit the pubs seeing that they are open for the first time this year or will it be a damp squib?

[Dr. Martin Gooter Bling]

should be a cracker.
y'know the irish. any excuse for a piss up.

[Belker]

It's a hard one to call, I really have no idea of which it will be.
I'v talked to a few bar staff in the cab about it and there only guessing too.

I'v always worked Good Friday, back in the day it was lucrative fer Bootleg work,
but in recent years the Taxi trade has been very good with only about 10% of
the fleet out on duty.

Working myself. Used to be a great night back in the good old days when the pubs were (officially) closed. I'd expect this year to be busy enough, if messy, assuming a certain novelty value will attach to pubs operating legally.

 Not much of a  difference down here except having to phone the bar man the doors will be open.

[Rat Catcher]

I remember a genuine court report in one of the provincials years ago. The judge asks the publican if he was open after hours as alleged. Don't you know I was, weren't you there yourself your honour...

Thursday night was Hopping.
Friday night was about the usual.
Saturday night was quieter than usual.
Tonight should be good !

[Rat Catcher]

I was off Thursday, Sunday and Monday. Friday was nothing to write home about, finished at 01:34 myself. Used to be a great night back in the good old days when the pubs were officially closed.

[Belker]

Sunday night was only OK'ish too, with the Good Friday opening thrown in to the equation,
the Easter bank holiday weekend turned in to a Four night gig instead of the usual bank holiday
3 night gig.
Thursday night and Sunday night were my best Two nights, but like Rats said,
nothing to write home about !

Thur and Sunday did over 350
Fri was crap and sat I was in Arlington on the lash Monday did 200 easy

[Rat Catcher]

Last night was good. Ended up working right through to 02:06 this morning having started at 20:57, just under a deuce...€2 under to be precise.

You night drivers are loaded.When the tax man comes after me he's getting all your plate numbers..

Mondays (or Tuesdays of a bank holiday weekend) are often good as the lads who worked crazy hours over the weekend are all nigga rich so don't bother working. Still, 5 hours is an extremely long shift for me, the like of which I'd usually only attempt of a Friday or Saturday night.

[mercenary for hire]

It's been ok this week.Mostly app work not much on the streets unfortunately.

I'd be with you on that. Daywork,( by the looks of the drivers) is only for blokes with a pension in the back pocket, and an ugly bird.
