@connectlogic don't have uber where I live. Council don't allow it. It's only local firms.. And it's swarming with hundreds of private hires in a small area..unless I work 70 hours I make £5 an hour... Even 70 hours would be £1050 takings. Extra outgoings on fuel and more maintenance would be another 100 or so.. That would leave 425 plus 175 from the 1st 35 hours so 600 profit for 70 hours.. Less than £10 an hour still for 70 hours..not worth it. Plus anything over 250 a week is getting taxed so the extra £ you make it's not an as much because of tax and Nat insurance so you end up with 500 for your 70 hours.

FOr lowering cholesterol Try something called 'Talbina' for breakfast its a porridge from barley flour milk and honey Really high in soluble and insoluble fibre high in beta glucans which creates a bile gel to bind cholesterol and come out of your poop! Then your body uses its cholestrol to make more bile it lost. That's amazing right! Also when you charge your taxi do a 20 min walk in any direction and 20 back to the taxi... that's 40 mins do that twice a day that's 80mins of cardio
