Well I'm hoping to have 2 decent holidays next year - not had one in 4 years

Blackpool for one....................but where else?

Maybe a more relevant question would be to ask Les if he's getting more customers now than four years ago

What's that got to do with people having more money in their pockets? Les tells me he 'thinks' people are better off, I know his tea leaf reading is , surely the best way is not what he thinks but ask his punters , something it looks like he didn't do

I'm sure the food banks have been busier now than in the last 4 years

When you are earning 100.00 Quid an hour like Les...Thats what you call a treat!!
Thats why I get the bus!

99% of the time I use the Metro or bus, its 1/8 of the cost of a taxi to get me to work

No - Les likes upmarket places like Magaluf

I base it on the number of customers, how busy the town is and my earnings and it's easy to see that most have more money to spend.

Just found out we have a food bank - might pop in and pick up some Caviar and Champers on Sat

Yes, I have been to Magaluf on a up - can't remember what it looked like though

Plenty of people do use the buses and trains - but we have a lot of business people here attending conferences and they not bothered how much taxis cost.
