Why are they asking you if you are just an acquaintance? Have they exhausted all their friends first who said no.Thrifty Till 50 Then Spend Till the End
You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time0 -
I'd consider it cheeky to ask a friend or aquaintance to pick me up at 3am! If they were good enough to do it, I'd certainly offer to cover their expenses.Ms_Chocaholic wrote: »Why are they asking you if you are just an acquaintance? Have they exhausted all their friends first who said no.0 -
It's going to cost you about £12-15 in fuel.
If you were going to charge, you could charge, say, the HMRC published rate, which'd be about double that.
It's 3am ....

He's driving an Ibiza, not a Maserati!
OP, £6 for fuel, £4 for W&T, call it a tenner. Anything more is taking the pee. For £30 your 'friend' may as well use a mini cab.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -
