I expected him to be a cab driver as he’s good at taxiing!

Much ❤️❤️❤️ Stay safe

Good for him. Proper grafter.

Just imagine the urge to speed🤣

Thank you 🙏

I'm not going to judge anyone willing to risk their lives to help others and be there....paid or otherwise.

So do we self isolate like we are told?, or do we go out and look for driving jobs?

this is great, but I thought you couldn't work while furloughed? Can you clarify MartinSLewis ?

hollybbtweets .. get your story up here ! X

Ahhhh! When he drops off ur loo rolls from 30,000 feet

He's making some money. This really isn't a story lol

That’s good though. Double money. He gets 80% wages for getting furloughed and additional income as a delivery driver.

What's next?, trying to shame people who are now staying indoors self isolating
