I think he may well have been winding you up. As has been said, a small difference maybe but nowhere near £6ph. Supply and demand and all that.

Regarding lost mileage due to driver shortages... it's always been the same. Weekend in the summer and nice weather means some drivers would rather ring in 'sick' and go out for the day than actually turn up for work.

No doubt the same ones who moan LF when they get a holiday, lieu day or change of duty knocked back at short notice. But, of course, it's different then. What's more the union actually defends these idiots when they get hauled in over their attendence.
