It is not going to end until the trade stops being the dumping ground for the unemployable and the only way to do that is to raise the standards of the drivers, that is my opinion anyway
You are right about raising the standards!Aside from Tesco/Asda etc what other trade/job puts a course out there that is to do with basic adding up and taking away, and how to speak to people!
This is so basic that they the L.As could assertain those points at an interview. I ran pubs for 27 years and employed countless people over that period of time, when people rang up for a job I used to ask them to come down for a
chat . During that chat which could take 5/15mins I could see how that person conducted/dressed themselves and it was not often that I was wrong.
I was not trained to profile people but I did it in that job and I also do so in this one, I am sure that many of us do to see as to whether passengers are ok or not - a chat is not much different and you can gleen an awful lot by doing just that.
The bottom line is that the L.As are being lazy B******s and costing some of us time (60/70 hours) and our hard earned money.
