Finally the Final is upon us.

We now know who the finalists will be for the 2010 world cup. With Spain and Holland contesting the final. After Sunday we can hopefully get back to normal. By the way the phones are ringing it appears that we are about to have a huge influx of tourists into London. The problem is that most hotels are fully booked with people attending the airshow.

It is going to be a fantastic weekend for sports fans they have the British grand prix, Sandhurst polo weekend and the world cup final to look forward to not forgetting the cricket . Browns can help by driving you to wherever you are going so that you can let your hair down have a drink and enjoy yourself without worrying about how you will get home.

This week has been really hard as we have had a lot of interviews for chauffeurs. We must have had a thousand applicants and trying to weed out the unfit is really hard especially when you hear some of the hard up stories people tell you. One thing that has become apparent is that there are a lot more people unemployed out there than the Government is telling us.

This week starts the countdown for the busiest week in the private hire calender. Every person who has a car will be looking to make some money so please remember my blog of last week only use licenced cars. Another tip, always make sure you know what your trip is going to cost you prior to departure because once you have arrived at your destination you have to pay what the driver asks for. Not everybody advertises their prices like Browns so be careful.

To those of you who have as yet to book your cars for the upcoming events please do so as soon as possible, we have reserved a few cars for our regular clients but we cannot hold them indefinitely.BCH will be well represented at the grand prix this year, so look out for a familiar face and say hello.

Finally I would like to congratulate Chris and Emma, Alexis and Charlotte and Andreas and Kerrie for the birth of their children ( there must have been a power cut). Its amazing that we have not had a birth for at least 9 months and then three come at once.

That's all for this week folks but don't forget if you need help in arranging your transport call me at Browns.

Peter.
