| The guy that cleans my shoes at Liverpool St station also works at City Airport and on a normal business day at the airport two of them clean 150 pairs of shoes at £4.00 a pair. That is not a bad turnover. Mind you they work from 07.00 to 19.30 hours. |

Assuming a half hour for lunch, I make that £25/hour!!
5 days a week, that's a lot of hours (60!!! - almost as many as a junior doctor  ) ...but, allowing for a generous 8 weeks/year holiday, and bank holidays off aswell ....that's a potential turnover of a little over £60,000 - and there can't be much in the way of overheads ...a few cloths, some polish, and an accountant to submit your tax return...
...its almost tempting!!!! |

(£150 x 4 = £600 divide by 2 blokes = £300 each divide by 12hrs = £25/hr) |

Not forgetting the cost of the pitches and the fact that the whole industry is probably under the control of some robber baron who takes a fair slice. Most of the guys who do this are from central Europe.
PS to get back on track: still without my new TV and so nothing made me smile today |

Whats made me smile, more like rofl, is the new paint scheme on the Yamahas for this weekend. They have either been on drugs, or, they want to be a laughing stock.

Do the pink stripes down the arse mean the guys are trying to get in touch with their feminine side? 
Or maybe this is some twisted designer's idea of urban camoflage?
Agree w/u Chuffs re the spewing incidents - looks like someone barfed colour all over bike and rider. As a mate of mine used to say "Wow! That's a party!"

 Room for a little one  I don't want to get wet 
PS. I quite like the Yamaha colours a little understated for my taste but they are getting there

The Post Office made me smile today.
A while ago a parcel I sent to my son went astray. After a few weeks I informed the Post Office but admitted that I had (stupidly) not got a postage receipt.
Not surprisingly, in due time, I received a 'sorry' letter that said that unfortunately, without proof of postage, they could not compensate me ...OK ...fair enough ...my fault 
But today I got another letter, saying that they'd reconsidered .....and enclosing a 'good will' cheque for £22 - only about £5 less than the value of the package ....good old Royal Mail - thanks!!!  |
