" I enjoy them, I came second in the Call Sign ‘Television competition’ and before that won the ‘Weekend Away’ break! I believe that when you go to work in the cab, you are working for yourself. I would have done these rides regardless but I don’t see why if someone does virtually no credit work, they should share in these extra incentives."
Harold went on to say that he had been driving a cab for 26 years and been on DaC for well over half that time. Congratulations, Harold…
As for the competition itself?: "I can’t see the point in sharing out the money between everyone who worked - we’d all just get a few quid each and where would be the incentive to cover credit work? In fact, I was working fairly normally and would have done most of this work regardless, as I do mainly account work anyway. But this type of incentive still provides that little extra push. I think they are a good idea."
