    When people ask you what do you do for living?
    What do you say?  
    -I am driving for umber and make £5k per month?
    - Private chauffer?
    - My own business ?
    - Self employed?
    - Minicab driver?
    Are you proud?

    Depends on the person asking, if you want to continue speaking to them for the rest of the evening (or whatever situation you're in), or you just want them to go away.
    If the latter, then saying  you're a minicab driver works best. Most people will ask you the usual "are you busy?", "is it good money?" etc. Just say, "I get by nicely, thanks, and it pays the bills".
    Saying you're a chauffeur, (whether you are or not, if you're working for a chauffeur firm, or just drive for one client), isn't recommended, as you'll get the usual "do you/have you ever driven anyone famous?" which I find annoying (obviously, a professional wouldn't say who their client/s are to strangers), other than that, you'll get people asking what car/s you drive, where you go, and other questions which may seem impersonal and feel uncomfortable answering.

    fullpower reacted to Johny in Best car holder!!!!   
    I agree  
    By far this is the best phone holder I have ever used in my car or seen used by others.
    Best £12 invested so far
     
    WUTEKU car holder £12 on Amazon

    The magnet is so subtle on the back of your phone and actually looks nice. It even works through a thin plastic case.
    The piece that sticks to your dashboard is so very stable and secure and once in place, it rotates to wherever you would like your phone pointing.

    fullpower reacted to thedriver in old version uber app   
    For those who still need to check how busy it is in some areas using the uber client app.
    ONLY for ANDROID
    You can download the old versions from :
    http://www.androiddrawer.com/28131/download-uber-app-apk/
    And dont forget to disable automatic update from android.
    To turn updates on or off, follow these steps: Open Google Play. Tap the hamburger icon (three horizontal lines) on the top-left. Tap Settings. Tap Auto-update apps. To disable automatic app updates, select Do not auto-update apps. or more easy, after you install the new app go to android play, search for uber client app and then use the  far right corner and press the hamburger icon  ( three vertical dots ) and disable auto-update

    fullpower reacted to MakMakMak in B1 English Course Discount for Forum Members   
    Hello all, I would like to offer discounts for forum members on the B1 English Language course provided by www.tflenglishtest.co.uk
    If anyone has any questions regarding the new English Language Requirement, please ask away or visit our website and most questions have been answered on there already.
    The information on our B1 English Language Course is below:
    Classes run from Monday to Thursday each week, drivers can attend the 10am to 1pm class or 1pm – 4pm class.  We understand that some drivers may not be able to commit the full 4 days a week, in which case they can divide up the number of training days and stretch them out over additional week at no extra cost.
    All training will include mock tests and will be based on the Trinity College B1 English Language Exam.  Our classes will be taught by Trinity College qualified teachers. 
    1 week training is 4 days and is best suited for drivers who are fairly confident and want to get some preparation in before the test.  For one week we normally charge £250 but for forum members it's £200.  
    2 weeks training is 8 days over 2 weeks and is for drivers who need a little more time to prepare.  We normally charge £300 but for forum members it's £225.
    4 weeks training, which is the most popular and runs for 16 days over 4 weeks (which is double the amount of our nearest competitor), we normally charge £350 but for forum members it's £250.
    If anyone needs additional training after the 4 weeks they can discuss this with the teacher and we will arrange the additional weeks at a discount price.
    The test which they must take at a SELT Trinity College test centre can be booked after the course is complete by us for £180.
    Please mention the forum when booking and we will need the drivers Photo ID and a proof of address and how many weeks they are looking to do.  Booking can be done via email to mak@tflenglishtest.co.uk
    Payment for the course would need to be made before the course begins and drivers can come to our enrollment office at Unit 1, 116 Mile End Road, London, E1 4UN to make the payment. 
    Drivers are also welcome to come and visit our office to ask more questions regarding the new English Language Requirement and they may also have a look at some sample test papers.

    NO, you have to do a hard reset.
    Connect your iPhone to your desktop/notebook. Launch iTunes. Once your iPhone is detected, click on the iPhone button. Under the Summary tab, click on the Restore iPhone button. You’ll be prompted to to create a backup of your iPhone. If you want to backup all your data, go ahead. In this guide we’re erasing everything without backing up. Click Restore. iTunes will then begin restoring the phone to its original factory state. After the process is complete, your iPhone will restart and you’ll be presented with the “Slide to set up” welcome screen, just like when you turned on your iPhone for the first time. IF this still doesnt work, i will advise you give it back to uber and get the £150 , Buy a HTC M8 and for £20/motnh i am sure you can find a very good deal for data.

    fullpower reacted to LUED in Renting or buying??   
    My car is leased due to other PH work I've got.
    A new car every three years - you'll always have the latest model, especially in terms of fuel efficiency and legislation. Anything goes wrong is fixed under warranty (which is unlikely anyway on a new car) I can negotiate higher fares from potential customers/other companies due to a new car. Maintenance costs are kept to a minimum, usually associated with higher mileage cars. No wear and tear items need replacing during the first few months of ownership (main ones being tyres and brakes).  Simply hand the car back at the end of the term - no need to deal with the hassle of trying to sell it. Tax efficient - the entire cost, can be offset against your earnings for income tax.  You'll have to replace your car every few years anyway (due to wear and tear, and/or ongoing legislation), so may as well get a new one every time.
