-I'm Eifion Owens.

0:00:090:00:11

-I own a taxi in Gorslas.

0:00:110:00:13

-I've been working by myself

-on the taxis for ten years.

0:00:130:00:17

-My eldest son

-has joined me in the business.

0:00:170:00:20

-We go all over the country.

0:00:210:00:22

-But, most of our work is local

-at the moment...

0:00:230:00:26

-..because of the price of oil.

0:00:270:00:29

-I do a lot of regular work

-for schools.

0:00:310:00:34

-But I'll go anywhere.

-I go to Gatwick occasionally.

0:00:340:00:38

-Other than that,

-most of my work is local.

0:00:420:00:45

-I get up at about 6.30am.

0:00:460:00:48

-I have a couple of hours off during

-the day, do the school runs...

0:00:480:00:54

-..and some nights I work

-until about eleven or midnight.

0:00:540:00:58

-I don't do the ranks

-like the taxis in town.

0:01:000:01:03

-I get my work by telephone.

0:01:030:01:05

-I've had quite a few characters

-in the taxi over the years.

0:01:080:01:12

-Some of them were quite old men

-and a lot of them have died now.

0:01:120:01:17

-But I have one character...

0:01:180:01:21

-..who comes down from Penygroes

-to Cross Hands...

0:01:210:01:25

-..twice a week to do his shopping.

0:01:250:01:28

-He buys his bird food in Ammanford

-because it's a pound cheaper...

0:01:280:01:33

-..so he gets a taxi to Ammanford.

0:01:330:01:35

-He doesn't think about

-the cost of the taxi to Ammanford.

0:01:350:01:39

-Of course, I have drunk people

-in the car some nights.

0:01:420:01:46

-I get a phone call often

-from Porthyrhyd...

0:01:460:01:49

-..from the pub landlady

-asking for an ambulance.

0:01:490:01:52

-I know who it's for every time.

0:01:520:01:55

-It's the same character.

0:01:550:01:57

-The taxi business

-has become a lot quieter.

0:01:590:02:02

-It started getting quieter

-about a year ago.

0:02:030:02:06

-Some people said

-that it would get worse.

0:02:060:02:09

-I thought

-that it couldn't get any worse...

0:02:090:02:12

-..but it has got a lot worse

-in the past year.

0:02:120:02:15

-In recent days, the price of oil

-has increased by two pence again.

0:02:150:02:20

-Between the two taxis, I usually

-spend about 400 a week on fuel.

0:02:200:02:25

-It's a lot of money...

0:02:250:02:27

-..and everyone wants a better price

-than what you can give them.

0:02:270:02:31

-I'd rather the car stayed outside

-the house rather than lose money.

0:02:310:02:36

-I see all kinds of sights

-in the back of my taxi.

0:02:370:02:40

-Girls get in and they don't wear

-much no matter what the weather.

0:02:400:02:44

-They say that the seat's cold...

0:02:440:02:46

-..but if they wore something

-under their short skirts...

0:02:470:02:50

-..they'd be a lot warmer.

0:02:500:02:52

-I've seen a lot more than a cuddle

-on the back seat.

0:02:530:02:56

-After a few drinks,

-some don't care what they do.

0:02:570:03:00

-My missus might be watching.

-I'd better not say too much!

0:03:000:03:05

-Some people ask me to stop

-at the next lay-by...

0:03:050:03:09

-..and I think it's because they need

-to be sick, but they're not sick.

0:03:090:03:13

-I'm not saying any more!

-You'd have to bleep it out!
