-I'm Eifion Owens. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
-I own a taxi in Gorslas. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
-I've been working by myself -on the taxis for ten years. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:17 | |
-My eldest son -has joined me in the business. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
-We go all over the country. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:22 | |
-But, most of our work is local -at the moment... | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
-..because of the price of oil. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
-I do a lot of regular work -for schools. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
-But I'll go anywhere. -I go to Gatwick occasionally. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:38 | |
-Other than that, -most of my work is local. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
-I get up at about 6.30am. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
-I have a couple of hours off during -the day, do the school runs... | 0:00:48 | 0:00:54 | |
-..and some nights I work -until about eleven or midnight. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
-I don't do the ranks -like the taxis in town. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
-I get my work by telephone. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
-I've had quite a few characters -in the taxi over the years. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
-Some of them were quite old men -and a lot of them have died now. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:17 | |
-But I have one character... | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
-..who comes down from Penygroes -to Cross Hands... | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
-..twice a week to do his shopping. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
-He buys his bird food in Ammanford -because it's a pound cheaper... | 0:01:28 | 0:01:33 | |
-..so he gets a taxi to Ammanford. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
-He doesn't think about -the cost of the taxi to Ammanford. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
-Of course, I have drunk people -in the car some nights. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
-I get a phone call often -from Porthyrhyd... | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
-..from the pub landlady -asking for an ambulance. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
-I know who it's for every time. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
-It's the same character. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
-The taxi business -has become a lot quieter. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
-It started getting quieter -about a year ago. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
-Some people said -that it would get worse. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
-I thought -that it couldn't get any worse... | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
-..but it has got a lot worse -in the past year. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
-In recent days, the price of oil -has increased by two pence again. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:20 | |
-Between the two taxis, I usually -spend about 400 a week on fuel. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:25 | |
-It's a lot of money... | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
-..and everyone wants a better price -than what you can give them. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
-I'd rather the car stayed outside -the house rather than lose money. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:36 | |
-I see all kinds of sights -in the back of my taxi. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
-Girls get in and they don't wear -much no matter what the weather. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
-They say that the seat's cold... | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
-..but if they wore something -under their short skirts... | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
-..they'd be a lot warmer. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
-I've seen a lot more than a cuddle -on the back seat. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
-After a few drinks, -some don't care what they do. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
-My missus might be watching. -I'd better not say too much! | 0:03:00 | 0:03:05 | |
-Some people ask me to stop -at the next lay-by... | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
-..and I think it's because they need -to be sick, but they're not sick. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
-I'm not saying any more! -You'd have to bleep it out! | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
