Just another chancer trying to part the foolish from their cash.
Pity is he will probably find plenty of fools.

your fuel,car payments,insurance,repairs,tax and national insurance-looks good when you quote everything gross.Thing with these villages is you can make money but you have to be on call all the time and have no rivals.He might make £45 in an hour was it but then do nothing for the next four.

If I could even make a third of the quoted figure gross I'd be making a lot more than at present.

If I was taking £450 a shift I wouldn't be complaining about the outgoings, believe you me \:D/

And doesn't he also brag about the fact that the car he was using only cost £1,500?

Indeed, but the way he portrays it he was just working as an independent off the ranks, thus could come and go as he pleased, and it was also non-stop work as well.

£50 a night in diesel.

For £50 I should be able to do around 400 miles and for a 10 hour shift I have never driven 400 miles.
