Southwest trains suck
Today a southwest trains employee tried to ruin my day
The little hitlerette tried to intimidate me and treat my like sub human
Today sucked
On the 5th march 2012 at 22.46pm I was approached by station staff to take a passenger to take a passenger to his hotel in Yeovil. At the time the station staff did not have any chits . So they asked me to proceed to the destination in good faith. I was not at any time asked by the staff to quote a price. The destination was a hotel on west Coker road in Yeovil . We left for Yeovil around 22.50-55 in the evening . I proceeded passed Salisbury up the a36 . Parts of the a36 where being resurfaced so where closed off . I had to take a diversion and get on the a303 . The Milage was about 88miles and the meter would have switched to tariff two. The price I charge for this journey is 210 pounds . Which is reasonable for that time of night on a out out of town job. It took two hours to get there and two hours to get back. . In the morning of the 6th of march I went to station to get my chit . I told the lady Sara that journey was 210.00 . She first said it should be 22.45. She said that was far too much and practically accused me of lying about the route I took . She was rude at that time.but she wrote out the chit for 210 pounds. In the early afternoon of the 6th of march She approached me and my vehicle and accused me of over charging by 170.00 . This behaviour was thoroughly unprofessional . Practically accusing me of deceit . Again she was bullying and rude.She was suggesting to me the job should have for 40 pounds . I still did not say much . She started to talk other cab drivers I assumed she said I overcharged them which I deny and such behaviour was slanderous . So I approached her and asked her why she thinks I overcharged her . Why do you think I overcharged you. She said it is journey of 60miles to Yeovil. That may or may not be true. However I was going to a hotel which unfortunately for southwest train was not located where they would have like it to be . With diversions the journey was 88miles . The lady would not listen to me but it seems she was happy to slander me behind my back to colleagues .i have done hundreds of jobs for southwest trains .not once have I been accused of overcharging . However this lady gave me the ugliest looks from the moment I requested my chit for the service I provided. Her approaching me was thoroughly unprofessional . Such behaviour was confrontational and she treated me like I was her servant or employee. I will not be spoken to in such a rude manner by a lady I don't even know. She did not listen to the journey details she just went with her pre conceived notion that I ripped her off. I asked her to explain her self . Instead she walked away accuse me of abusive behaviour . I will not stand idly by whilst someone tries to sully my good name. She then call a _"rational "manager to talk to me and told him the journey details and the fact the lady Sarah had no right to confront me on the taxi rank and then proceed to slander me in public in front of colleagues
In my fourteen years as a cabbie never have I been accused of over charging .in my fourteen years never have I met such a rude and unprofessional person as Sarah . Somehow she took exception to me . I don't know why because Sarah did not send me out to do this job. The gentleman working the shift did and asked me specifically to take the fare to his hotel . I was to collect the chit the next day. As a result this is what happened
A journey to London which is eighty miles is roughly £220 . I did more mileage to accomadate southwest trains request and I actually charged 210
This is what happened .

Deep thoughts
12th of October 2013
IM tired. Many thoughts running through my mind. Different variables and the consequences of those variables. It feels like some kind of empathic journey. Lately I've been thinking about the futility of certain cycles whilst contemplating the essentiality of other cycles. I have been viewing concepts and actions as shapes whilst contemplating that everything is a variable .
For instance I came home from work today and my son wanted to play PlayStation. Seems straightforward doesn't it? Well no. You see there are many variables in the cycle.
Did you do is homework?
Was it done correctly?
Was it checked by his mother?
Was homework checked by his father?
He had to correct his mistakes.
He had to work hard.
Yeah to plug in the PlayStation.
It didn't work ,he had to figure out how to make it work
He got upset. Because he worked hard and the fates seem to have conspired to take his reward away.
He calmed down. He got it working. You played with his daddy on the PlayStation and was happy.
See how many variables are in a simple action as that?
We cannot simply control all variables and my thoughts turn to.........nothing

21st of September 2013
IM at nawabs restaurant in Manchester. I am here for a wedding. It's sanams wedding . She is my cousins daughter . This marriage hall is very opulent . Talk to my cousin Arshad there.saw lots of expensive cars there. Later after the wedding we went to shahida's house in Rochdale . From there I went in the car with Arshad to his house . He told me about rosendale hackney carriage licence been given to drivers without any age limits on a car . They are now allowed to work as private hires in Manchester by high court ruling . He told me Manchester hackneys are ticked off because they have to get expensive cars whilst these guys have cheap bangers being allowed to work in Manchester. Arshad also has two houses now converted into one.
Any way the kids and the mrs are staying at shahida's house for night . Whilst I will stay at arshads

20 September 2013
so today I had a bath and I've got my bandage wet so I had to change my bandages and I've got a nice picture of my stitches.
Baby dowdies having a bath and then I can take him and go to the bank . Collect the kids from school at 1:15 pm. Bring the kids back home from school.
The kids are back from school. I am off to enterprise Rent-A-Car to get the car.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car have just give me a hyundai i35. I think it is a real nice car and not bad £60 for the whole weekend absolutely amazing thank you Enterprise
They certainly made up for the bad customer service they gave me last time.
Into the car around about 3 o'clock I decided to go to Asda to get some snacks for our journey. Still waiting at Asda at 3:30. Alisha is singing in the back of the car and dawud is asleep. Waiting waiting waiting still waiting.
She finally came out with my son. We left at continued towards Winchester to get onto the a34 . When on the a 34 we got stuck in a lot of traffic nearOxford
Got to services of the M1. Still another 70 miles to go to reach Bradford.
The traffic was unbelievable. It took us at least two hours to reach Oxford and just reached at the services after five hours and we still got another 80 miles to go I think.
Got to Bradford at 10:24 PM . I am knackered. Been driving for seven hours.
Goodnight
