Why is this handy well when you need a car he turns up otherwise he goes and parks up if you need to be dropped off a particular location. Often we bring the Driver along with us and most are happy to act as a second pair of eyes (ie security) for a free dinner and snacks plus the change from the petrol money.
Thank you, I will ask Emma, and am sure you are right.
On previous visits with my ex, we did exactly that, and invited the driver for dinner, and he was happy, and friendly.

This is the way forward I reckon, and at least I can enjoy a drink or 3
