Working as a cabbie - advice please

Posts: 5 Forumite
Hi - for some mulling over working as a mini cab driver.
For background im in late 40's, work full time in an office job I don't particularly enjoy, being my own boss seems appealing. I would be quite happy with 3k a month after expenses, 2k a month would be ok, less would be a struggle..
Any thoughts on from people on what cab life is like, how easy it is to find work, what kind of hours are involved, or anything else would be most welcome.
Thanks

About to do another comprehensive reply, but already did one on the first link mentioned in the post above (4th reply).
You may also look at the London section on the uberpeople.net forum for further advice.0
