I'm being a taxi service for one of my friends for the next 4 days

[tdi]

i've got a derv. i rarely get 100 miles to a tenner. you will be doing 120 miles. you are losing out. if you complain about it, you're not being a good mate are you?

[Special]

30 mile a day just to get there? and only 10 pound for 4 days? totally being ripped off

should be 10 pound a day

When my older brother started to drive he once pinched a monitor out of an old taxi at a scrapyard. Still worked so he managed to get it working in his car, then for a joke when people would ask him for lifts he'd turn it on like a taxi. Never got old lol, bet he still has it somewhere.

[danzooo]

Just say no? I hate people who ask me for lifts, even if they offer to pay. It's very rude.

I probably wouldn't mind if it was a good friend, favours you give always come back round.

Don't trust the MPG it said on ebay, yes it might be able to do that but only if you are driving super economically. If I am honest I don't think he is offering enough unless that is per day, there is doing someone a favour but there is also bending over backwards for them.

Also who -repped me for my post being irrelevant? Bit tight as it hardly was irrelevant was it? :rolleyes:

it wasnt me, but, you can see that it was a bit irrelevant.. it has nothing to do with the post, and not on topic. just you telling us about someone with a taxi meter in their car :S

definitely not enough. £10 a day would be much better

It was hilarious though. The faces of his friends when they got in and he turned the meter on was priceless, they were just like wtf lol?

But yeh I'm not suggesting you put a meter in your car or anything, just working out as best you can how much petrol you will use, you can also throw a bit on for your time but obviously not too much as he is your mate.

I've probably misunderstood this somehow, but how exactly am I not being a "good mate" when I am giving him lifts to work?

What he is saying, is if you moaned asking for more you are not being a good mate.

Although I disagree - you have every right to ask for more

if a really good mate wanted lifts to work i'd not complain about the few quid you go over, i'd do it for nothing if it was on my way to work as i know i'd get the favour returned to me.
