Dial-a-Cab Credit Union
Unrest in the Middle East?
The problem with writing an article for a monthly publication (in a world of instant communication) is that what you are reading is already history. I pray that the above headline is also history - perhaps over-taken by the US Presidential Election! Do you recall the drama of queuing for diesel in September? History - at least for the moment...

Recent History.
Go back to the last century (the 20th) and turn on the telly to watch Amos and Andy. Perhaps ride a bike with Sturmey-Archer gears or read a history book on Alcock and Brown. For the benefit of our younger readers, in 1919 Alcock and Brown made the first transatlantic flight crossing from Newfoundland to Ireland in 16hr 12min and were considered by many cab drivers to be the original 'long day men'! Sadly, all are no longer with us. And of

course, this time last year we had nothing better to think about than the dreaded Millennium Bug!
   So what? Well we do not live and work in a vacuum, outside forces do influence our lives and  the way we 'push-a-cab' around and - of course - the amount we pay to borrow money.
   Yet one thing that does not change is the 1% interest charged on loans from the DaC Credit Union. Joining the Credit Union will help to stabilise the cost of your future borrowing.
   By the way, Messrs Sturmey and Archer went into receivership in September having been around for donkey's years. The company may have gone, but its ghost 

remains in the form of the website www.sturmey-archer.com.
   Dial-a-Cab currently has bundles of work, but do not just give your hard-earned cash away. Support the Credit Union in case there is a down turn in the economy. The last thing we want is to be history on some obscure website.

Christmas / New Year Opening Times
The Credit Union office will be closed from Friday 22 December to Tuesday 2 January inclusive. Please ensure that your loan applications and requests for share withdrawals are in the office no later than the week ending Friday 15 December. The last day before the Xmas holidays for the collection of cheques will be Wednesday 20 December.

SMILE FOR THE DAY

With national parrot day coming up later in November, here are a few smiles featuring our feathered friends...

An elderly man was sitting on a bench in Hyde Park when a young lad walked up to the bench and sat down next to him. He had spiked hair with several different colours - green, red, orange, blue, and yellow!
   The old man just stared at him.
   "What's the matter, old man," said the youngster, "have you never done anything wild in your life?"
   The old man stared for a few seconds and then replied slowly: "Well, I once got drunk and 'played around' with a parrot. I was just wondering if you were my son...!"

And then there is this one...
On reaching his plane seat, a passenger was surprised to see a parrot strapped in next to him. Being shy, he decided to say nothing about it but just asked the stewardess for a coffee. At the same time, the parrot squawked: "...and get me a whisky you cow!"
   Several minutes later, the stewardess brought back a whisky for the parrot but forgot the passengers' coffee. When this omission was pointed out to her, she told the passenger that she would go and get him his coffee. Just then the parrot drained its glass and squawked: "...and get me another whisky, you ugly cow!"
   Quite upset, the stewardess returned with another whisky, but still no coffee. Unaccustomed to such slackness, the man decided to try the parrot's approach and called out to the stewardess:
   "I've asked you twice for a coffee, get it now or I'll give you a slap". The next moment both he and the parrot were wrenched up and thrown out of the emergency exit by two burly stewards. Plunging downwards, the parrot turned to the passenger and said:
   "For someone who can't fly, you're a cheeky so and so...!"
