[Londoner]

As regards london taxi drivers don't they think the rest of buy fuel and insure vehicles.I know a tv celeb who does it as a nice earner on the side.He has his own show and writes best selling books- very often from ideas given to him by his fares.

He drives an old London taxi.  That bit's true.  The rest is fantasy.

Replace "I know a tv celeb who does it as a nice earner on the side" with "Some bloke in a pub once told me he'd heard from a mate of his that there is a tv celeb who does it as a nice earner on the side" and your sentence will be closer to the truth.

He has a taxi its true, but he's not licenced to pick up passengers. he did a series where he drove one around America.

And he uses it to avoid paying the congestion charge and park for free (leaving it on taxi stands).

He isn't licensed to take fare paying passengers.

Hi, ive been getting my books up to date for the april 6th online filing. And i've been looking at my expenses.

I put my x's in wcp.And this is my fourth tax year and the first when i haven't had a major purchase such as a van or a system.So i'd like to think that this years expenses are more typical.

The figure is interesting because it gives me some idea of what it actually costs to do the jobs, 5k is £100 per week, or £20 per day.So depending on how many jobs i do each job costs me between one and two pounds, probably £1.50.(this doesn't include depreciation on major assets- this sounds a bit grand i mean my van and system)

What are your expense totals? And how much does each job cost you?

I don't know about "per job" but my expenses would be thereabouts or a little more if I didn't need to rent a lock-up and pay for water.
