Is it because driving in snow implies further training is required and you need to pay for it?

Or is it because they will have to use cars with legal tyres?

I get the taxi's from firms based in Crawley, English language is optional and legal cars is way down the list of priorities ...

Time and a half! Pah! You can afford it. Just think of us poor under educated under valued NHS workers who've had to scrape together the price of a 10% discount on a handbag to get to work! It's a tough world out there living on a knife edge! Lol

Seriously it's danger money
