Oh and the £16.70 included the tunnel. Wonder how much it would cost to stay sober and drive over. Tunnel, fuel, parking ?.

Use a bike - get train over to L'pool with bikes. A couple of sturdy locks - and you can cycle back through the old tunnel - as it is open and free for cyclists until something like 7 am. As long of course as you can cycle in a straight line after a few scoops

Just a word of advice to the Taxi Drivers who have commented on this thread,
If you go to the police and tell them who is holding a gun to your head and making you drive a Taxi, they may be able to help.


God help us,
Come yourself,
Don't send Jesus,
This is no place for children.

Taxi drivers get a bad in general but 99% are sound, there was a few black cab drivers a few years ago that used to piss me off, we would get a black cab from the rank in Birkenhead to Anfield, the fare would be between £10/£12 but some drivers would turn the clock off and say its a min of £15, not much of a differance but its the principle to me.

Wirral taxi services





well I'm really very sorry that I can't afford to spend more money getting a taxi home than it would cost me to have booked a hotel for a night. I think the whole point of considering driving over shows that I'm not exactly rolling in spare cash. I went to the same event last year and we pre booked a taxi that picked us up from bromborough and took us over there and back again at the end of the night. it cost £80 round trip between 4 of us so worked out at £10 a head each way. fantastic price that we only got because a friend's family member worked for the firm.

at no point did I show disgust at taxi drivers working to get people like me home. however, I work my a*se off full-time on minimum wage and would like to think I am entitled to see off the truly horrible year i've had by celebrating the new one with my friends in a place of my choice. I cannot afford to be paying seasonal fares, I don't even get taxis from Liverpool on a normal night as I can't justify spending so much money when I have bills to pay and don't have much spendable income. I also have to say that I've been unfortunate enough to get some nasty taxi drivers the few times I have used their services, so by the sound of it me and gemkat have already met.
this year there is likely to be only two of us travelling back so there's more chance of you changing that gobsh*te attitude of yours than us being able to afford it.

hope you have a terrible year smile
