Uh? Like they would cut the liver out of a car crash victim on the scene of the accident and then put it in a ice box in the back of your van and you'd take it to the hospital where a transplant patient is waiting?

Yeah man, sometimes the heart is still beating for a few minutes afterwards.

Be very careful, chinks will do anything to make money. Even from there own drivers. They will expect you to take them to the shops for 'ingredients' yet wont offer you to buy you a drink why they are in there or give you a few quid petrol money.

It gets boring driving the same route every 10 minutes and then working 3 / 4 hours a night instead of 6. Oh, nicking a pack of prawn crackers to eat while your driving isn't allowed, but you don't eat your dinner till around 11pm when they are a bit quieter.

IMO, not worth it. Wear and tear on your car + high miles... I wouldn't recommend it.
Yeah, I know what you mean but it's just a way to make a bit of money and keep the car on the road I don't intend to do it long lol

I used to do it a good few years back. Back when the price of fuel wasn't such a joke.

Was easy money tbh, used to make around 45quid on an average week night and use about 10quid of fuel. On a good Saturday night with good tips i seen myself going home with over 100quid.

I used to use a runabout for doing it, but on the odd occasion would take my old V6 Astra, 328i Sport or my old Pulsar just for a laugh.

Delivery drivers nowadays never seem to make much with the price of fuel etc, and they never seem to be busy. Everytime im in places getting a take-away i have a blether with the drivers and they all say the same, thats its alot quieter than what it used to be few years back.

Yes mate its ok if the place is busy if not you get some free fuel and food too. But if its busy you can make £100.00 per night at the weekends if you want to lose a Friday or Saturday night but it is worth it for about 6 or 7 hours ,and you get to know the regulars too and can get faster doing it as you know them and get a laugh too

I work for a pizza place mate.

I get a basic rate, so a set price every shift. Then i get £1 every delivery i do, £1.50 if its a bit further. And then tips on top which, especially on weekends, do mount up a fair bit
I also thought id be using a lot in petrol, turns out i actually don't at all. Say i did 15 deliveries in a night, i wouldn't use anywhere near £15 of fuel which you get paid for, so it is good pay imo

Ive only ever had 1 job before it and i consider this to be miles better. Good luck

I'd asked to be paid in the type of GBP.

Anything else, I'd tell them to fuck off
