You're out of breath, dehdrated, so you drink half a litre
Of lucozade. Then you call a cab firm for a 7 seater.
The driver is friendly, and his name is Peter.
Because you have a bike, he adds extra on the meter.
He offers you some starchy food, but you're a simple carb eater
so you stick to the glucose, because that stuff's sweeter.
You're really unfit, sweaty, so he turns off the heater.
You got a taxi to work? Ha! What a cheater.]>

Notice none of the days were particularly busy - what is a `proper' mileage then, on a day when you don't stop? Or do we really care...

>JP seriously now, one would not post one's earnings here would one...one would either be embarrassed and feel silly for working so hard for so little - or get torn apart by one's workmates who are fighting for a slice of the same pie ;) no, there was no warning lights in the underpass.]>
